Lot Description

Elegant surfaces are dressed in undeniably original toning that blends steel-blue, pewter and charcoal gray shades. More vivid undertones of gold, pink and blue are also present to further enhance the eye appeal. In anticipation of heightened sales to contemporary buyers in connection with the United States Centennial, the Philadelphia Mint struck an unusually large number of Proof quarters in 1876. Many of the 1,150 pieces produced likely found their way into the hands of the general public and were not as well preserved as examples that went to numismatists. At the Proof-66 grade level the present survivor is of exceptional quality that will certainly attract strong bids from today's discerning bidders.
