Losbeschreibung

1898-O Barber Quarter. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. This richly original example is bathed in a blend of frosty mint luster and handsome golden-copper, reddish-rose and cobalt blue patina. Uncommonly full in strike for the issuing mint, and smooth enough to evoke thoughts of a full Gem Mint State grade. Like so many New Orleans Mint issues in the three Barber silver series, the 1898-O quarter was produced in modest numbers (1,868,000 pieces) and suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation. Most Mint State survivors represent coins set aside in limited numbers by contemporary numismatists. This lovely near-Gem is finer than most and is sure to catch the eye of astute bidders. PCGS Population: 1; 18 finer (MS-68+ finest). PCGS# 5620. NGC ID: 23YE. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
