Losbeschreibung

1897-O Barber Quarter. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. A brilliant and lustrous example with a softly frosted texture on both sides. It is generally well struck by New Orleans Mint standards, although we do note a touch of softness to a few of the stars on the obverse and the eagle's left talon on the reverse. The 1897-O is one in a long line up of scarce, challenging Barber quarters from the Louisiana coinage facility. The mintage of 1,414,800 pieces saw heavy commercial use and Uncirculated survivors are elusive. This premium quality MS-66 ranks among the finer certified at PCGS. It would serve as a highlight in any advanced collection. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS Population: 9; 5 finer (MS-67+ finest). CAC Population: 5; 1 (MS-67). PCGS# 5617.
