Handsome Superb Gem 1892-S Quarter Among the Finest Certified 1892-S Barber Quarter. Type I Reverse. MS-67 (PCGS). Both the originality and exceptional level of preservation set this coin apart from the vast majority of Mint State 1892-S Barber quarters. This is a beautifully toned example, with silver gray, olive-russet, reddish-gold, pinkish-apricot and powder blue on both sides. Intensely lustrous, the finish is frosty throughout with hints of semi reflectivity in the fields. Full, razor sharp striking detail touches even the most intricate design elements adding to the appeal of this outstanding Superb Gem. In 1892 the new quarter designed by Chief Engraver Charles Edward Barber was produced at three United States mints -- Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco. At 964,079 coins, the San Francisco Mint had the lowest mintage of the year and pieces from that mint are scarcer than the 1892 and 1892-O in all grades. This San Francisco Mint quarter is particularly elusive in Mint State, so much so that even a solidly graded and aesthetically pleasing MS-63 or MS-64 represents a significant find. The 1892-S is rare as a Gem, and exceedingly so in Superb Gem Mint State. This, in fact, is the finest example of the issue that we can ever recall handling, a coin that is a highlight of the Pogue Collection of Barber quarters. Phenomenal! Estimate: $20,000 - $25,000. PCGS Population: 2; with a single MS-67+ finer. PCGS# 5603. NGC ID: 23XV. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
