Description

Dramatically Toned 1868 Quarter, PR66

1868 25C PR66 NGC. Coin production was hindered by the Civil War, and it would take several years before mintages would increase to antebellum levels. Only 29,400 quarters were struck in 1868 plus an additional 600 proofs. All proofs of this issue feature repunching at the top of the 1 in the date, the short die crack between ER in LIBERTY, and the large die lump below the bottom of the B in LIBERTY. Dramatic shades of blue, violet, and rose toning cover both sides of this deeply mirrored specimen. An attractive representative of this low-mintage issue. Census: 11 in 66, 0 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P2)
