Dazzling 1895 Barber Quarter, MS67

1895 25C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Duckor. In 1895 the Philadelphia Mint coined more than 4 million quarters. However, this is only the second appearance of an MS67 PCGS specimen in any of our auctions since 1993. In fact, it was this same coin that appeared previously. The PCGS population remains unchanged in MS67 since we previously offered this example in our August 2006 auction. Most Mint State examples range from MS62 to MS65, with only eight MS66 pieces. The average grade of 202 PCGS certified submissions is 60.4.
An orange-red obverse border surrounds an olive and cream-gray portrait. The reverse is awash in ocean-blue, aside from a golden-brown blush along the left margin. This remarkably smooth Superb Gem exhibits dazzling luster, and all devices display razor-sharp detail. Light die cracks connect the right-side obverse stars, and others venture in three directions from the eagle's tail. Colorfully toned Superb Gems with the present eye appeal provide an important opportunity for the Barber specialist. Population: 3 in 67, none finer (6/09).
