Lot Description

Superb Gem Proof 1895 Quarter 1895 Barber Quarter. Proof-68 Cameo (PCGS). This exquisite Superb Gem would make an impressive addition to a stellar quality collection. Both sides exhibit brilliant silver white centers framed in warm peripheral antique copper and powder blue toning. The brilliant centers allow ready appreciation of bold cameo contrast between frosty devices and mirrored fields. The strike is razor sharp throughout, and the surfaces are nearly pristine. As one of the most consistently well produced and preserved Proofs in the Barber quarter series, the 1895 is popular for inclusion in a specimen type set. The present example is finer than most survivors of this 880-piece mintage, and it is worthy of a strong bid commensurate with its condition rarity. Just two coins have been certified finer by PCGS in this category. High in the Condition Census and incredibly beautiful, this remarkable coin will attract bids from all directions. PCGS Population: 12; 2 finer in this category (Proof-69 Cameo finest). PCGS# 85681. NGC ID: 242A. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
