Losbeschreibung

1896-O Barber Quarter. MS-66 (NGC). Vivid peripheral toning in iridescent rose-apricot frames essentially brilliant centers. A lustrous and attractive example with a pleasing, smooth appearance overall. Years ago the 1896-O was considered to be a great key date issue in the Barber quarter series, but in more recent times it has dropped from view somewhat, especially among casual collectors who mostly think of the 1896-S/1901-S/1913-S trio. Among specialists, however, the scarcity of the 1896-O is well known. Only a few coins have been certified in grades of MS-65 and higher, and market appearances for such pieces are usually few and far between. A highlight of the Larry H. Miller Barber quarter set. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 4; 0 finer at this service. PCGS# 5614. NGC ID: 23Y8. Click here for certification details from NGC.
