Description
1908-O MS66 Barber Quarter
Deeply Toned, Strong Underlying Luster
1908-O 25C MS66 NGC. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. More than 5.7
million quarters were struck in the New Orleans mint in 1908, but
the story remained the same in the waning days of this branch mint
as it had for decades previously: Coinage was needed in the local
channels of commerce, and few pieces were set aside in Uncirculated
condition. This is a high-grade exception. The mint luster is thick
and softly frosted, covered with deep, original layers of blue-gray
and faint traces of reddish patina. Better struck than most New
Orleans products. Census: 5 in 66 (1 in 66+), 2 finer (10/13).Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $2.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. (Registry values: N2998)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23ZE, PCGS# 5651, Greysheet# 5446)
Weight: 6.25 grams

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
