Description

1896 Quarter, PR68 Deep Cameo
Immaculately Preserved

1896 25C PR68 Deep Cameo PCGS. Following a large proof mintage in 1892 to mark the beginning of the Barber design, the Philadelphia Mint coined fewer proofs during the next several years, including 762 pieces in 1896. The proofs of 1896 were, in general, remarkably well produced as the population of high-grade pieces suggests. With a total of 21 such pieces, the 1896 has the second highest PR68 or better PCGS population behind 1898.

In a word, this coin is spectacular. The strike is bold throughout and the fields are fully mirrored with seemingly unlimited depth. The devices exhibit thick, frosty silver luster. A hint of champagne toning appears on the reverse. Population: 8 in 68 Deep Cameo, 2 finer (3/23).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 242B, PCGS# 95682, Greysheet# 5476)
