Lot 824
1909. NGC graded Proof 68. A "monster" Proof specimen, exhibiting intense violet and russet iridescent toning on both sides. Only 650 Proofs struck. The 1909 has an enduring popularity with collectors as it is also the first year of issue for the ever-popular Lincoln Cent design. Proof Quarter Dollars are readily available up to and including Proof 65, and it is also one of the most available business strike dates due to extensive mintage. That said, this is an obviously original and untampered-with coin that has magnificent reflective fields beneath multiple layers of toning. Each side exhibits similar iridescent patterns with colors as mentioned above. Although the patina is rather deep areas, it does nothing to obscure the underlying ripple of the highly reflective fields. A remarkably well preserved Superb Proof 68 specimen of the 1909 Barber Quarter, and one of the finest thus far certified. Pop 10; 2 finer in 68*.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.
