Richly Toned 1893 Isabella Quarter, MS68

1893 25C Isabella Quarter MS68 NGC. Though the Isabella quarter was neither a great success nor a ready after-market seller when it was released in 1893, the concept of a commemorative quarter has had a number of echoes in American numismatic history. Among them are the Washington quarter, originally a commemorative design; the Bicentennial quarter, part of the three-coin series; and the Statehood quarter series, now in its tenth year.
The present Superb Gem is easily among the finest survivors from its now-prized issue, with only one numerically superior example known to NGC (6/08). The strike is crisp, and both sides offer ample luster beneath blue-green, cerulean, violet, and gold toning. Expertly preserved.(Registry values: N7079)
