Description

1896-S Barber Quarter, MS64
Important Key Issue
First of the Big Three Barber Quarters

1896-S 25C MS64 NGC. At the near-Gem or finer levels, the 1896-S is one of the Barber series rarest issues. It is also one of the most sharply struck, although die clashing is seen on many coins. This Choice Uncirculated example is razor-sharp throughout both sides. A faint mantle of golden toning exists at the margins, ceding to frosty silver centers. Horizontal lines within Liberty's ear remain from clashed dies and additional die clashing is seen above the shield beneath the banner, yet there are no singular marks of consequence and eye appeal remains strong. Bold competition is expected when this sharp 1896-S is called. Census: 13 in 64 (1 in 64 ), 9 finer (3/23).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23Y9, PCGS# 5615, Greysheet# 5422)
