Description

Magnificent 1895-O Barber Quarter

1895-O MS 68 NGC. This specimen was previously featured in the May 27-28, 1991 Superior Sale, lot number 872, where it was partially described as "1895-O NGC graded Mint State, Superb. Variety having the mintmark far to the right. Wow! We have never seen the like of this 1895-O Barber Quarter in all our years of cataloging...The surfaces have accumulated a kaleidoscope of colorful hues, and this isn't merely on one side as usually happens, but on both sides equally. Reds, golds and blues; pinks, lavenders and lilac hues and so many more that only the strength of the human eye can differentiate so many thousands of shades and nuances of color.
"Surprising as such color is, it is matched by the coin's strike and surfaces, its mint freshness underneath. In fact, the surfaces are so nice they could even indicate a coin that was some sort of presentation striking. Anyone who ever looks at this coin will have its beauty and awe-inspiring appeal permanently engraved in their memory. For, at bottom, the fields are perfect (sic). To use the jargon of the trade, this one is a "moose" and deserves to be inspected by those buyers whose taste runs to prime numismatic properties."
For pedigree purposes, there are several microscopic chatter marks above the LL of DOLLAR on the reverse, these being essentially the only disturbances worthy of any mention. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Barber quarter specialist.
