Wonderful 1899 Quarter, MS66

1899 25C MS66 PCGS. Gold CAC. Ex: Duckor. More than 12 million 1899 quarters were minted throughout the year, the highest production of any Barber quarter. With such a high mintage, it seems that examples should be available in any grade desired, but that is a false assumption. In MS66 and finer, 23 issues have higher PCGS populations than the 1899. This Premium Gem carries a gold CAC label, meaning it is an extraordinary coin for the grade, and we imagine that it is virtually the equal of the lone MS67 that PCGS has certified. Both sides have exceptional design definition, with satiny luster beneath gorgeous blue-green, gold, rose, and violet toning. Aside from a small subdued area at the left obverse, the surfaces possess vibrant luster. This is only the 10th appearance of a PCGS MS66 1899 quarter in our auctions since 1993. Population: 11 in 66, 1 finer (6/09).
