Lot 2753
1901 Barber Quarter Dollar. NGC graded Proof 68 Cameo. Only 813 minted. A white gem. This crisply struck Superb Gem has both a brilliant obverse and reverse, without the least tinge of color anywhere to be seen other than the mighty silvery iridescence. A mint employee polished the obverse die and then frosted the recessed (in the die) relief portions, and as a result, a lovely cameo effect against the mirror field replaces the often-seen all-brilliant style used on most Barber coinage this year. The parsimonious production of 813 pieces assures that high grade survivors are very elusive. Pop 5; none finer at NGC .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
