1908-D 25C MS66 认证号11246130, PCGS号5650

We love this coin !!! Just a spectacular example, crisply struck (especially for a Denver issue) with prooflike surfaces and cameo contrast under a gorgeous layer of colorful toning. The coin almost appears to have a "specimen striking" quality. Only the 11th star lacks radials, as often happens with this design; that star lies opposite the right-facing wingtip, which depletes the metal flow into star eleven. A note regarding the condition census for the issue: PCGS has graded none higher than 66, while the NGC Census shows 4 in 67 and one in 68. However, we have seen two of the highest graded NGC coins, and stand by our coin as being completely and utterly superior. Despite the numerical differences, we would confidently submit this coin as being a candidate for finest known. We hope and expect to see this coin stand alone as a pop 1/0 PCGS MS67 in due time.

The 1908-D Barber Quarter is a great collectible coin because it is plentiful and it often comes nice.  Most examples come well struck and many of the top coins come with remarkably colorful toning.  In Mint State, the most common grades are MS63 and MS64.  Gems can be found without too much difficulty, but above MS66, this date is a true condition-rarity.  The best example is the NGC MS68 from the Eliasberg and Gardner collections.
