Description
Superlative 1898 Barber Quarter
PR67 Deep Cameo
1898 25C PR67 Deep Cameo PCGS. The Philadelphia Mint had
perfected the manufacturing techniques of proof coinage by the late
1890s. Proof coins from this era can hold their own with the best
examples produced today, as evidenced by the magnificent coin
offered here. The frosty devices of this Superb Gem proof appear to
float over the deep watery fields, and whispers of light gold and
violet appear at the borders under magnification. A solid strike
manifests itself in complete definition on the design elements. The
surfaces of both sides are impeccably preserved. The original proof
mintage of just 735 pieces has been drastically reduced over the
years by improper cleaning, and many examples were spent by
noncollecting heirs during the hard days of the Depression.
