Lot Description

Superb Gem Proof 1898 Barber 25C 1898 Barber Quarter. Proof-67 Cameo (NGC). CAC. An awe-inspiring and original example of both the type and issue, this Superb Gem really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. The devices exhibit razor sharp striking detail and a softly frosted texture, the latter feature contrasting markedly with deeply reflective fields. Subtle shades of gold and peach patina drift across the surfaces, accenting the brilliance that shines from the centers. Due to the high standards of quality to which it was produced, the 1898 is one of the most popular type issues in the Proof Barber quarter series. Sure to sell for a premium bid to a quality conscious collector. Provenance: From the Harrington Collection. NGC Census: 22; 15 finer. PCGS# 85684. NGC ID: 242D.
