Description
1893 Isabella Quarter, PR65
Very Rare in Proof
1893 25C Isabella Quarter PR65 NGC. A bevy of delectable
colors grace the surfaces of this scarce quarter, ranging from rose
to grape to save and sunrise-yellow. Razor-sharp definition defines
both sides. The Isabella quarter is a highly unusual issue in the
pantheon of American Commemorative coinage. It is the only American
coin to depict a foreign monarch, Queen Isabella of Spain, and
remains the only commemorative quarter ever to be issued. It
commemorated the Board of Lady Managers, established by the work of
Susan B. Anthony to represent women in the exhibition's
administration, making its target more focused than most early
Classic Commemoratives, which recognized the exhibition as a whole
and depicted its main themes. (An exception to this is the 1900
Washington-Lafayette dollar, which did not specifically mention the
1900 Paris exposition it debuted at, but just the Lafayette status
that was unveiled at that event that the coin commemorated). The
Isabella quarter is scarce in its own right, but the Proof
designation amplifies this unavailability. While no records exist
of Proof strikings, some have been certified in that format from
both services, including some with the Cameo designation at NGC.
However, few are as fine as this superlative survivor. Census: 9 in
65 (1 in 65+), 5 finer (12/25).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# BYMM, PCGS# 9221, Greysheet# 10320)
