1887 Seated Quarter, PR68 Cameo
Ex: Newman, Sole Finest at PCGS

1887 25C PR68 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Briggs 2-B. Ex: Newman-Simpson. Mintages for Philadelphia Mint circulation-strike Seated quarters and half dollars were incredibly low from 1879 through 1889 in Philadelphia. The 1887 quarters saw 10,000 coins struck plus a proof mintage of 710 pieces. This PR68 Cameo example shows thin vertical lines in the left portion of the shield on reverse, a characteristic that proofs of this year share. Fully struck surfaces enjoy terrific eye appeal and showcase tremendous field-device contrast, with a color palette typical of so many coins with the Newman pedigree. Formerly the top-graded Cameo example at NGC, this is now the solo finest proof in any category at PCGS (6/21). CAC: 2 in 68, 0 finer (7/21).
