Lot 819
1899. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo. Fully brilliant. Only 846 struck. Considering that 846 pieces in Proof condition were struck of this final issue of the 19th century, which in and of itself adds appeal to its overall scarcity, only a handful come down to the present with undisturbed surfaces and Mint fresh look. It is no accident that this Barber Proof would fit nicely into any collection that focuses on originality as well as technical perfection. The specialist's instinct is clearly drawn toward this piece. Both sides display silvery mirrors and satin frosted devices, hence the "cameo" designation. The obverse and the reverse are equally well struck by the dies. A fully brought up coin is what collectors enjoy the most since it reveals pleasing reflectivity in the fields at direct and indirect angles. A must-see item for the Barber Quarter Dollar enthusiast. Should attract attention from far and wide. Pop 8; 5 finer, 1 in 67 Star, 4 in 68.
Estimated Value $3,700 - 3,900.
