Delightful 1914 Barber Quarter, PR68

1914 25C PR68 PCGS. CAC. After initial strong sales in 1892, demand for silver proof sets waned rapidly, as collectors gave the Barber design the cold shoulder. Production showed a distinct downward trend throughout the lifetime of the design, reaching its nadir in 1914. In that year, Philadelphia struck a mere 380 proof quarters; this was the lowest reported proof mintage for the denomination since 1858.
Of those 380 pieces, this is one of the most undeniably appealing survivors, one of four PR68 pieces graded by PCGS with none finer (3/09). The decisively struck and gleaming specimen offers a delightful melange of gold, rose, sea-green, aqua, and violet patina. Impressively preserved, virtually pristine, and a delight to behold.(Registry values: N4719)
