Scarce 1893-S Quarter, MS66

1893-S 25C MS66 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Duckor. The 1893-S is a scarce Barber quarter issue, with a mintage slightly less than 1.5 million coins. The date is especially elusive in Gem preservation, with only 12 submissions that PCGS has certified as MS65 or finer. The average PCGS certified grade of 110 submissions is just 56.
This Premium Gem exhibits tiny artifacts inside the upper and lower loops of the mintmark, perhaps representing a repunched mintmark, although we remain undecided on that point. The mintmark is far to the right, nearly centered over the upright of the D. This extraordinary piece has vibrant gold and iridescent toning over the reflective obverse field, with light silver luster on the reverse framed with iridescent peripheral toning. Population: 2 in 66, 2 finer (6/09).
