Lot 894
1898 Barber Quarter Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67. Star. Wonderful blue and gold toning on both sides. Swirls of silvery cartwheel mirror reflection sparkles within the richer texture of the iridescent colors, far better than average for even a well toned Barber quarter! Both the peripheries and the central reverse are detailed and definitely 100% crisp for their sharpness of strike, which is a forceful reminder in a Proof coin from this year that it is quality that counts. A run-away coin. Housed in a new NGC 4 prong holder. Only 739 Proofs struck. Pop 1; 19 finer, 18 in 68, 1 in 69.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
