Description

1892 25C PR67 NGC. Type Two Reverse. The obverse has iridescent lavender, powder-blue, and gold colors, while the reverse has bright golden-brown and apple-green patina. The strike is razor-sharp, and the surfaces are gloriously preserved. A design contest was held in 1891 for a replacement of the long-lived Seated Liberty type. Chief Engraver Charles Barber was one of judges, and he rejected all entries. Ultimately, his own design for the dime, quarter, and half dollar was approved. Census: 28 in 67, 9 finer (3/09).
