Description

1897 Quarter Dollar, PR68
Undesignated Cameo Contrast

1897 25C PR68 NGC. The Philadelphia Mint coined 731 Barber quarters in 1897, and perhaps half or more of those pieces survive today, but rarely are they equal to this Superb Gem. The combined census data of NGC and PCGS show just seven examples are certified PR68 with none finer. This piece has delicate champagne toning on the obverse with splashes of iridescence on the reverse, allowing full view of the contrast of this piece that deserves a Cameo designation. Census: 5 in 68, 0 finer (7/13).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 242C, PCGS# 5683, GSID# 5477)

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
