Lot 596
1896-S. PCGS graded MS-64. Well struck and fully white with abundant mint frost on the devices and the fields show some reflectivity. The surfaces show a few trivial bagmarks from handling, and there are light signs of clashing within Liberty's ear from the reverse horizontal shield lines. A key date that is rarely found at all, especially so in high grades like this, as a mere 188,039 pieces were struck for the entire year. Popular key date, and this is one of the big three of the Barber quarter series--the 1896-S, 1901-S and 1913-S. An exceptional coin and worthy of a strong bid. Pop 12; 13 finer, 7 in 65, 3 in 65+, 3 in 66. (PCGS # 5615) Estimated Value $17,000 - 18,000
