Description

1899 Barber Quarter, MS67
Vividly Toned Condition Census Example
CAC-Endorsed Registry Coin

1899 25C MS67 PCGS. CAC. This remarkable coin is a delight to behold. Frosty, radiant mint luster rolls freely throughout pristine fields and sharp struck central devices. Even the border stars and the eagle's talons are bold. This coin's strike is as close to full as is ever seen on a Barber quarter. However, beyond the luster and strike, the coin showcases spectacular toning. On the reverse, this appears as vibrant rainbow patches in the margins around an iridescent champagne and pale blue interior, while the obverse is perhaps most distinctive with similar colors that cede to midnight-russet in a trough through the lower margin. Not a single notable abrasion is seen. We have previously seen only a single 1899 Barber quarter in Superb Gem condition. This piece is one of only five so graded, and one of three so fine with CAC endorsement. Population: 4 in 67 (2 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 67, 0 finer (8/25).(Registry values: N2998)
