Description
1892-S Barber Quarter. Type II Reverse. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC.
Richly original, boldly toned surfaces exhibit full, swirling mint luster under a light. Fully struck and expertly preserved. In 1892 the new quarter designed by Chief Engraver Charles Edward Barber was produced at three United States mints - Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco. At 964,079 coins, the San Francisco Mint had the lowest mintage of the year and pieces from that facility are scarcer than the 1892 and 1892-O in all grades. This San Francisco Mint quarter is particularly elusive in Mint State, so much so that even a solidly graded and aesthetically pleasing MS-63 or MS-64 represents a significant find. The 1892-S is rare as a Gem, and the present example is a highlight of the Barber coinage offerings in this sale.
PCGS# 5603. NGC ID: 23XV.
PCGS Population: 9; 10 finer (MS-67+ finest). CAC Population: 1; 6.
