Stunning and Superb 1901 Barber Quarter Dollar. NGC graded Proof 68. A gorgeously toned proof with a perfect combination of vivid toning and flashy reflectivity. Mellowed gray and champagne toning on Liberty's device is surrounded by electric blue and magenta hues. The reverse has a blast white and frosty eagle staged atop perfectly concentric iridescence. Perhaps no coinage design looks as impressive in superb gem condition as that of Barber's Greek -like depiction of Liberty paired with a refined (from Scot's 1084 design) and perfectly sized representation of the Great Seal of the United States. Struck at the turn of the century at the tune of 813 proofs, this superb specimen is one of the finest with regards to technical and visual merits. NGC population of 7 in PF68 with a single PF68 "Star" theoretically finer.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 8,000.
