Description
1886 Seated Liberty Quarter, PR68 Cameo
Single Finest Certified
1886 25C PR68 Cameo NGC. Briggs 2-B. Ex: P. Kaufman. There
must have been a problem with either the obverse die itself or the
position in which the die was installed into the press because the
proof 1886 quarter rarely shows more than a trace of definition on
the obverse star centrils. Other than these features, every design
element on the present coin is fully detailed. The surface
preservation is no less impressive with a smooth, distraction-free
sheen in evidence from rim to rim. Both sides are untoned, or
essentially so, and boldly contrasted in finish. The 1886 is among
the rarest P-mint quarters in the Seated series. A mere 5,000
business strikes were coined, along with 886 proofs. The difficulty
collectors meet when searching for an attractive business strike
has placed considerable date pressure on the extant proofs. Of
course, with surfaces that more than justify the PR68 Cameo
designation, this specimen is a rare and desirable coin in its own
right. This is the single finest certified proof 1886 Seated
quarter with the Cameo designation (1/14).Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2002), lot 6535.
