Description
1892 Barber Quarter. Type II Reverse. Proof-66+ (PCGS). CAC.
Intense mint reflectivity shines powerfully through an overlay of richly original, vivid toning in multicolored iridescence. The strike is full, the surfaces expertly preserved, and the eye appeal is nothing short of outstanding. The advent of the new Barber quarter design in 1892 caused a run at the Mint on Proofs, where 1,245 coins were produced; the next year the love affair was over and the Proof mintage had dropped considerably, never again to brush the 1,000-piece mark for the duration of this series. Popular now as then, the first year 1892 is a favorite among Proof type collectors in the modern numismatic community. Few are as outstanding as the premium Gem offered here.
PCGS# 5678. NGC ID: 2427.
PCGS Population: 2; 17 finer in this category (Proof-68 finest). CAC Population: 9; 7. The former total includes coins certified both Proof-66 and Proof-66+.
Estimate: $2550
