Description

Exceptional 1896-O Gem Quarter

1896-O 25C MS65 PCGS. The 1896-O quarter is elusive in Mint State, especially the higher grades thereof. David Lawrence (1994) assigns Uncirculated pieces an R.6 rating. Glowing luster radiates from both sides of this Gem, each of which displays a nearly imperceptible veneer of beige-gold color. The design elements are sharply defined for a New Orleans issue; only the arrow feathers are a tad soft. A few grade-consistent marks do not disturb. Population: 6 in 65, 3 finer (3/09).
