Superb Gem Proof 1884 Quarter Dollar

1884 25C PR68 NGC. Like silver coins of other denominations, the 1884 quarter dollars are usually found in Proof or full Mint state condition with few circulated examples surviving. As the Mint State examples are often found prooflike, there has sometimes been confusing telling these apart. This amazing Proof handily displays the diagnostic for attribution. All Proof examples have the digits 84 in the date lightly touching, while business strikes have these letters separated. Few can equal this example for quality, although NGC has incredibly certified an example as Proof-69. This quarter is intensely toned with rainbow colors across both surfaces, providing an almost indescribable beauty. The fields are deeply mirrored with lustrous devices. Not quite a Cameo Proof, yet very nearly so.(#5585) (Registry values: P1)
