详细说明

1900-S Barber Quarter. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Dusted with delicate champagne-pink iridescence, this beautiful example also offers full mint luster in a softly frosted texture. The strike is impressively full throughout the design, and the surfaces are as nice as would be expected for the assigned grade. Along with the 1898-S and 1899-S before it, the 1900-S is one of three San Francisco Mint Barber quarter issues that were sent in quantity to the Philippine Islands in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War. A fair number of those coins have returned to the United States after acquiring minimal wear, and the 1900-S is readily available in EF and lower AU grades. However, attractive Choice AU and Mint State examples are elusive and undervalued. Approaching the pinnacle of the numismatic grading scale, this premium quality Gem is an important condition rarity. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS Population: 8; 5 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 5627. NGC ID: 23YM. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
