Description
1885 Quarter, PR68 ★ Cameo
Tied for Finest Graded, Impressive Quality
1885 25C PR68 ★ Cameo NGC. CAC. Even among the impeccable
Newman Collection Seated quarter proofs, this 1885 graded PR68
★ Cameo is among our personal favorites, a coin of simply
immense eye appeal. The silvery centers of each side -- a much
larger area on the reverse, basically putting a circular frame
around the entire eagle and enhancing the cameo contrast --
contrast with the deep, even patina at the peripheries, comprising
ice-blue, medium-blue, amber, and purplish tones. The strike is
full throughout, and there are simply no distractions on this 1885
quarter, also given the Star designation for extreme eye appeal.
Only 930 proofs were struck, complementing the meager
business-strike production of 13,600 coins. Census: 4 in 68 (3 in
68 ★ ) Cameo, 0 finer (10/13).Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.(Registry values: P1)

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
