Lot Description

1905-O Barber Quarter. MS-64 (NGC). Soft satin luster is seen over brilliant, smooth-looking surfaces. The strike is impressively sharp, notably lacking the extreme softness so often associated with New Orleans Mint quarters of this design type. A mintage of 1,230,000 coins and extensive commercial use conspired to make the 1905-O scarce to rare in the finer circulated and all Mint State grades. The Miller specimen is sure to find its way into another advanced collection. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 15; 5 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 5640. NGC ID: 23Z3.
