Lot Description

The satiny snow-white design elements float untethered amid deeply reflective fields. A hint of bronze toning accents Liberty's neck, the otherwise brilliant surfaces remaining entirely free of distractions even under magnification. Sharply struck and captivating to review in direct lighting.<p>Along with the Proof issues of 1896 and 1897, the 1898 is the most consistently well produced and attractive in the Barber and Morgan silver series. Even so, few survivors from a mintage of 735 Proofs for the 1898 quarter are as exquisite as this gorgeous specimen. Perhaps only 15 to 20% of these display enough contrast to support a Dep/Ultra Cameo designation, and most of those are typically in grades of Proof-67 and lower. At PCGS/CAC Proof-67+ Deep Cameo, the present piece is among the very finest certified for both the date and type. With only 16 coins certified finer by PCGS in this category, our offering of this coin represents an important bidding opportunity for both type collectors and Barber silver enthusiasts.
