1898-O 25C MS67 认证号05968000, PCGS号5620

The single finest example graded by PCGS, this coin features exceptionally flawless surfaces, including Miss Liberty's cheek, under attractive original and colorful toning. An irreplaceable superb gem. This coin is also a good example of how a set evolves. Our first 1898-O was a beautiful PCGS MS65 with blue and gold secondary toning. This was replaced by a lustrous original PCGS MS66 with peripheral toning that came out of a Stack's auction raw. That coin had superb arm's length eye appeal, but it did sport some light scratches on the portrait visible under magnification. When this MS67 came along, we reluctantly gave up the other two; but we are happy to have this definitive and beautiful example.

The 1898-O Quarter Dollar is semi-scarce and, in terms of rarity, it ranks 13th out of the 74 date/mintmark combinations in this series.  It is fairly scarce in Mint State, but shows up relatively frequently at auction.  The typical Mint State 1898-O Quarter falls into a grade range of MS2 to MS64, with Gems being very rare.  There are two important outliers that are very special: one PCGS MS68+ (one of only four in the series) and a PCGS MS68.  Both coins are visual stunners, with exceptional color and eye appeal.

This date exhibits a variety of strikes, ranging from weak to strong talons on the right side of the reverse.  In our opinion, a fully struck example should command a premium, though they can be found with no premium attached.
