Description

Captivating Near-Gem 1896-S Quarter

1896-S 25C MS64 NGC. The Choice example in this lot offers remarkable eye appeal for the grade assigned. Rose and champagne shadings dominate each side, and a small area around WE in IN GOD WE TRUST displays a blue-green tint. The luster is vibrant, almost flashy on the reverse, and the modest abrasion on the chin that partly accounts for the grade is hardly distracting. Decisively struck and delightful, a remarkable condition rarity that will delight the series enthusiast seeking an attractive example of this ever-popular key issue. Census: 13 in 64, 9 finer (9/08).(Registry values: N4719)
