Description
1912 Quarter, Magnificently Toned PR68
Among the Finest Known
1912 25C PR68 NGC. This later date Barber quarter is an
extraordinarily well-produced and (to us) perfectly preserved
proof. It is among the finest of the 700 proofs struck in 1912. The
proof coins in the Eric P. Newman Collection all share magnificent
toning and to a one are high grade. This piece shows shimmering
waves of multicolored iridescence on each side with brightly
reflective mirrors in the fields that flash brightly through the
toning and greatly enliven the patina. NGC did not designate this
quarter as a Cameo, but looking through the toning we see a
significant presence of mint frost over the devices. Census: 5 in
68, 1 finer (10/13).Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.(Registry values: N4719)

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
