Premium Quality 1895-S Barber Quarter, Rare Repunched Mintmark Variety
1895-S/S 25C MS 64 NGC. Repunched Mintmark. There is a lot of "pizzazz" on both sides of this thickly frosted near-Gem. The obverse is toned in crimson-russet and electric-blue colors that yield to a swath of brilliance near the left border. Similar colors are noted on the reverse, but most of the features are untoned. There do not appear to be any abrasions that would bar this coin from a full Gem grade. Conditionally scarce.Writing in 1994, David Lawrence noted that the repunched mintmark variety is at least one rarity ranking higher in all grades than the other die marriages of this delivery. The repunching is readily evident under a loupe.
