Lot Description

Premium Gem Uncirculated 1903 Quarter 1903 Barber Quarter. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. Warm pearl gray patina is seen on both sides of this Gem quarter with blushes of iridescent golden-olive in peripheral areas. Fully struck with bountiful mint frost, both sides are as nice as would be expected for the premium Gem grade from PCGS. Despite its generous mintage of 9,759,309 circulation strikes, this is actually an underrated condition rarity, with high grade examples such as this remarkably elusive. A find for the astute Barber quarter specialist. Estimate: $4,000 - $5,000. Provenance: From Heritage's Long Beach Signature Auction of June 2005, lot 6015; Heritage's Long Beach Signature Auction of September 2005, lot 2738. PCGS Population: 5; 2 finer (both MS-66+).
