Description

1896-O Barber Quarter, MS66
Lovely Original Toning

1896-O 25C MS66 NGC. Somewhat overshadowed by its San Francisco counterpart, the 1896-O is an underrated semikey in high grades. Mint State representatives are scarce, regardless of grade, and pieces grading finer than even the MS63 level are genuinely rare. The Premium Gem example here offered is truly outstanding. Glowing luster highlights the frosty, well-preserved surfaces. Warm central hues of amber and gold yield to deeper aquamarine around the peripheries, while close study of Liberty's cheek and other problem areas fails to reveal any noteworthy abrasions. The reverse is unusually well-struck, although the obverse shows trivial weakness on several stars. Census: 5 in 66, 0 finer (11/16).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23Y8, PCGS# 5614, Greysheet# 5421)
