Description

1909 25C MS67 NGC. This brilliant and lustrous Superb Gem has an intricate strike and exceptional eye appeal. As expected from its production of more than 9 million pieces, the 1909 is a common date. However, any Barber quarter is rare in MS67, and the 1909 is no exception. As Breen related in his 1988 Encyclopedia: "William Pukall, A.C. Gies, and Wayte Raymond during the 1930s accumulated rolls of all Barber coins ... Scarcity levels generally follow mintage figures." This coin is most likely from one of those early hoarders of Barber coinage. Census: 2 in 67, 0 finer (3/09).
