Description

1892-O 25C MS 60. The curiosity of the first new quarter design since 1838 prompted many Americans to set aside Mint State examples of 1892-dated Barber quarters. Widely represented in today's numismatic marketplace, the 1892-O delivery is, nonetheless, an important issue among advanced type collectors. The present example is an attractive, original piece whose eye appeal outweighs the basal Mint State designation. Evenly toned in shades of antique-gold and russet that yield to blue-green iridescence about the denticles, the surfaces are essentially devoid of post-production impairments. Well struck by New Orleans Mint standards, subdued satin luster is the only impediment to a higher grade.
