Lot 1300
1895 Barber Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 68 Cameo. CAC. PQ. A fully white gem proof. The obverse and reverse show considerable mint frost on the devices, which seem to float atop a sea of glassy reflectiviity. Free of handling issues and exceptionally appealing. All 1895 Barber quarters examined in Proof show an unusual lintmark on Liberty's nose, which is in the shape of a shepherds staff, this lintmark was actually on the master hub used to create this proof die, hence the lintmark is raised on the coins produced rather than sunk into the silver surface as usually seen. #36887223. Only 880 struck. Pop 8; 2 finer, 1 in 68 DCAM, 1 in 69 CAM. (PCGS # 85681) Estimate Value $9,000 - 10,000
Sale is not final. This lot will be offered again with the other 5 pieces of the 1895 proof set.
