1895 Barber Quarter, PR69 Cameo
Essentially Perfect, The Finest Known

1895 25C PR69 Cameo PCGS. Ex: Simpson. This coin is one of only 880 proofs produced in this important and widely recognized year in U.S. numismatics. It should go without saying (but we will anyway), this coin is the finest known of the date. High-grade proofs are readily available up to and including Gems, but the availability of coins rapidly thins out above that level. "Perfection" is a tricky word in numismatics. Something can always be found to separate a coin from absolute perfection, but on this coin imperfections are limited to two flaws the coin had when it left the Mint. On the obverse, a thread was struck into the back portion of Liberty's nose in the shape of a shepherd's staff. On the reverse, a tiny planchet flaw is located just above the eagle's right (facing) wing. The centers of each side are Cameo-contrasted and shimmer with original mint brilliance, while the outer reaches of each side are surrounded by rich golden-rose and cobalt-blue toning. An immaculate coin that fully deserves the lofty grade PCGS has bestowed upon it. Population: 1 in 69 Cameo, 0 finer (11/20).
