Lot 798
1909 Barber Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. Here is one that needs to be inspected closely, there is a faint line running just below the reverse shield tip into the thigh and field beyond to the left, and this appears to be a small struck through hair that was on the planchet at the time of striking. Perhaps PCGS thought it was a light scratch, and hence downgraded this coin to the conservative PR-64 level. The toning is magnificent, and we see no other signs of contact to account for the conservative grade. As always, make your own decisions as to the grade and especially the value of any coin you are considering purchasing prior to the sale.
Estimated Value $550 - 650.
From the Benson collection and purchased from Ira S. Reed on August 17, 1944 as part of a set of Proof quarters from 1858 to 1915 for $235.00.
