1892 25C, DCAM PR (PCGS#95678)

Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1892 Barber Quarter. Type II Reverse. Proof-65 Ultra Cameo (NGC). Incredible field to device contrast is fully appreciable in the absence of all but light, iridescent, generally peripheral toning. The strike is full, the surfaces expertly preserved, and the eye appeal is nothing short of outstanding. The advent of the new Barber quarter design in 1892 caused a run at the Mint on Proofs, where 1,245 coins were produced; the next year the love affair was over and the Proof mintage had dropped considerably, never again to brush the 1,000-piece mark for the duration of this series. Popular now as then, the first year 1892 is a favorite among Proof type collectors in the modern numismatic community. Few are as outstanding as the Ultra Cameo Gem offered here. Provenance: From the BASH Collection. NGC Census: 1; 14 finer in tis category (Proof-68 * Ultra Cameo finest). To view all items from the BASH Collection click here. PCGS# 95678. NGC ID: 2427.
