Description
1898-O Quarter, MS66
Underrated Condition Rarity
1898-O 25C MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1898-O quarter is often
overlooked in discussions of scarce Barber issues, though it is
actually a distinctly elusive date in Mint State, and is a
significant condition rarity above the Gem grade level. The issue
circulated extensively in the South, and a number of lower-grade
circulated pieces are known. High-end Mint State examples remain
curiously underappreciated. This Premium Gem representative
exhibits shimmering, frosty luster beneath a veil of light golden
patina. Liberty's cheek reveals a few faint, grade-consistent
grazes, though the preservation is otherwise perfect. Some striking
deficiency is seen on some of the obverse stars and on the eagle's
talons, as is typical of this New Orleans issue. Both sides show
prominent clash marks in the fields. Population: 7 in 66, 2 finer
(11/14).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23YE, PCGS# 5620, Greysheet# 5425)
