1892 25C, CAM PR (PCGS#85678)

June 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1892 Barber Quarter. Proof-66 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. This charming specimen exhibits blushes of orange-russet iridescence to otherwise silver-tinged surfaces. Fully struck and frosty, the design elements contrast nicely with reflective fields. The advent of the new Barber quarter design in 1892 caused a run at the Mint on Proofs, where 1,245 coins were produced; the next year the love affair was over and the Proof mintage had dropped considerably, never again to brush the 1,000-piece mark for the duration of this series. Popular now as then, the first year 1892 is a favorite among Proof type collectors in the modern numismatic community. PCGS Population: 18; 24 finer in this category (Proof-68+ Cameo finest). CAC Population: 8; 10. PCGS# 85678. NGC ID: 2427. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
