Lot 1797
1892 Barber Quarter Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo. 1,245 proofs issued. Well struck and white. An incredible gem of the finest order. Satiny frosted devices play host to robust mirrors, which are some of the flashiest we have seen offered on this or any other Proof Barber quarter. Like the other silver coins of this Type, the quarter dollars minted from 1892 to 1916 (Proofs were made in each year) were designed by Charles E. Barber. His initial B is found at the truncation of the neck of Liberty. For 1892, there are two varieties of the reverse: 1. Eagle's wing covers only half of E in UNITED. 2. Eagle's wing covers most of E. This is the second variety where the E is almost completely obscured by the wing tip. Pop 11; 8 finer.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
