1897 Quarter, PR68+ Cameo
Finest at PCGS in This Contrast Category

1897 25C PR68+ Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Proof Barber quarter dollar production held steady in 1897, with the Philadelphia Mint striking 731 specimens for sale to collectors. Enthusiasts of proof coinage will know that the final years of the 19th century saw some of the highest quality proofs that the Mint had ever put out. This Plus-designated and CAC-approved Superb Gem Cameo offering certainly speaks to that high level of quality. The obverse features blended shades of crimson, teal, lavender, cobalt-blue, and golden-orange patina, while the reverse exhibits similar colors around the borders exclusively. Cameo contrast persists and contact is virtually unseen. Population: 3 in 68 (1 in 68+) Cameo, 0 finer in this category. CAC: 4 in 68, 0 finer (2/22).(Registry values: N4719)
