Description
Awe-Inspiring 1900-O Barber Quarter
1900-O Barber Quarter. Type I/II. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC.
Here is an incredible Superb Gem that really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Halos of vivid cobalt blue and reddish-orange iridescence ring the peripheries and frame areas of virtual brilliance in the centers. It is intensely lustrous, has a sharply executed strike, and offers essentially pristine surfaces. This 1900-O Barber quarter is among the finest known for the issue, and it would do justice to an advanced collection of Barber and/or New Orleans Mint coinage. Beautiful! The Type I/II hub combination is not among those listed for the 1900-O by Steve Hustad (per Q. David Bowers, A Guide Book of Barber Silver Coins, 2019 edition). He reports only Type II/II and Type II/III for this New Orleans Mint issue although with no center cartilage in Liberty's ear, the present example was clearly struck from an obverse die prepared using the Type I hub.
PCGS# 5626. NGC ID: 23YL.
PCGS Population: 3; 2 finer (MS-68+ finest). CAC Stickered Population: 3; 1.
From the Srotag Collection. Earlier from Heritage's Long Beach Signature Auction of February 2016, lot 3199.
