Lot Description

Wonderfully original surfaces exhibit soft peripheral color that gives way to light antique pearl gray toward the centers. Both sides are satiny, smooth and exhibit sharp striking detail throughout. This design type by Charles E. Barber, the first - and until the 1776-1976 Washington quarter, the only - commemorative quarter dollar, was made at the behest of the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Columbian Exposition, of which Susan B. Anthony was a member. The coin was authorized March 3, 1893, and production began almost immediately afterward. As current certified population data shows, the number of survivors thins dramatically at and above the MS-67 grade level. This is a virtually pristine and highly appealing coin that is worthy of the strongest bids.
