1892 25C, CAM PR (PCGS#85678)

June 2026 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Losbeschreibung: A lovely example that really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Both sides are beautifully toned in champagne-rose, orange-russet and powder blue iridescence with a somewhat mottled distribution to the colors on the obverse. The surfaces are virtually flawless and showcase an exacting strike that has imparted razor sharp definition throughout the design. Noticeably cameo in finish, especially when viewed with the aid of a direct lighting, and fully deserving of the coveted CAM designation from PCGS. This is an expertly produced, carefully preserved, and visually stunning Ultra Gem Cameo Proof that will please even the most discerning numismatist.<p>The advent of the new Barber quarter design in 1892 caused a run at the Mint on Proofs, where 1,245 coins were produced in this format; 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. While the 1892 is the quintessential type issue in this Proof series, it is also a formidable condition rarity at and above the grade level offered here.
