Description
1903 Barber Quarter. Proof-68 (NGC).
Occasionally superlatives escape us, and this is one of those occasions. The frosty motifs and reflective mirror fields are aglow with rich peach-rose iridescence on the obverse, the reverse is a remarkable deep purple color. If not for the toning, we have every reason to believe this beauty would have made the Cameo designation. This exceptional Proof is both colorful and sharp, and its surfaces are entirely unmarked. We can sense that the bidding activity on this lot will be substantial and may not be limited to Barber quarter specialists. There are a lot of collectors who enjoy vividly toned, high-grade coins no matter the design type, so factor that in as you plan your bidding strategy.
PCGS# 5689. NGC ID: 242J.
NGC Census: 8; only 1 finer within the designation (Proof-68*).
