Lot 827
1910. NGC graded Proof 68 Ultra Cameo. Fully brilliant and very nice. Only 551 struck. A coin that is hard to conceive exists in such a miraculous state of preservation. The Proof mintage for 1910 was typical for late in the series, with 551 pieces sold. The Barber design had been in production for 17 years when it was introduced in 1892.
Graded Proof 68 Ultra Cameo, it is among the finest certified examples for the entire type, regardless of date. and as always with these, the cameo devices are richly frosted, satiny in the extreme, and when fully brilliant (as here) the impression given is nothing short of heart-stopping! The successful bidder on this remarkable Barber Quarter, we have to assume, will look around the bidding room afterward with every appearance of well-deserved self-satisfaction. For years may pass before another comparable specimen comes along. Pop 2; 2 finer in 68 Star.
Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000.
