Lot 891
1896 Barber Quarter Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67. Star. Beautiful blue toning on both sides. Both sides are remarkably lustrous with full-mirror reflection from the fields and a spray of light frosty elegance for the main devices. A classic! What's more, the coin is nicely struck with just outstanding detail at the main features, again, all Proofs of this vintage were struck twice by the coining dies, and the Mint used its hydraulic press for them rather than its normal everyday minting presses. The detail shows. Housed in a new NGC 4 prong holder. Only 762 Proofs struck. Pop 1; 20 finer, 19 in 68, 1 in 68 Star.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
