1894 Quarter, Toned MS66
One of the Finest Business Strikes

1894 25C MS66 PCGS. CAC. Despite the original production of more than 3 million coins, the 1894 is a challenging date, especially in higher grades. The majority of numerically superior 1894 quarters are proofs. This stunning Premium Gem has frosty silver luster beneath rich gray-gold toning, with peripheral blue and lilac highlights. The strike is bold, and the eye appeal is extraordinary. We are unaware of any detailed variety studies for this or for any other issue of the Barber quarter series. This example is struck from a perfect obverse die and a cracked reverse die, with several cracks through the peripheral lettering. Population: 10 in 66, 1 finer (3/11).(Registry values: N2998)
