1907 Barber Quarter, MS68
Finest Certified at Either Service

1907 25C MS68 NGC. This magnificent MS68 1907 Barber quarter displays mostly brilliant surfaces highlighted by ice-blue toning and no visible surface flaws. The design elements are sharply detailed throughout. Vibrant mint luster adds to the incredible eye appeal.

Population Data (5/14): This coin is the sole MS68 example at either leading grading service, and none are finer.

Heritage Commentary: The 1907 Barber quarter boasts a mintage of nearly 7.2 million pieces, making it among the more available series issues and a favorite choice of type collectors. This spectacular MS68 example is the sole finest certified, making it a Registry Set necessity.

Consignor Commentary: I have always been wary of coins that are essentially brilliant (and have a strong personal preference for coins toned in deep blues and golds), but there is just enough light iridescent toning on the obverse to seduce me into acquiring this magnificent piece. Abrasion-free with strong luster, it is a delight to the eye.
