Description

Gem Uncirculated 1896-O Quarter
Scarce Issue in the Barber Series

1896-O 25C MS65 NGC. While collectors immediately recognize the 1896-S as a date to reckon with, the 1896-O is likewise an extremely elusive issue in the better grades of Uncirculated. Only nine pieces have been so graded by NGC, with six others in finer condition (9/12). This example has bright satiny surfaces covered with just a hint of light golden-rose toning. This is a well-defined piece for an O-mint. There are no obvious or distracting abrasions on either side.
