Description
1898 Barber Quarter, PR68 Cameo
Phenomenally Toned and Deeply Mirrored
1898 25C PR68 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The 1898 is widely recognized
as one of the premier type coins in the Barber series. Quality
control was obviously on the minds of Mint personnel this year (as
it was also in the two previous years). The proof mirrors on this
piece are extraordinarily deep. The obverse has highly interesting
swirls and patches of multicolored toning with the upper part of
that side significantly lighter. This makes the proof finish flash
strongly through the toning and actually backlights it. The reverse
is more traditional in appearance with reddish centers that are
surrounded by cobalt-blue margins. Perhaps PCGS saw a contact mark
or two, but we do not see any post-striking impairments on this
phenomenal proof striking. Population: 1 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer
(2/10).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 242D, PCGS# 85684, GSID# 5481)
