- 1897-S Barber Quarter. MS-65 (NGC). Brilliant satin-white surfaces support a razor sharp strike. The 1897-S has a mintage of 542,229 coins, and most examples entered circulation without fanfare, where they were lost or heavily worn. David Lawrence (1994) described the 1897-S as his "favorite date" in the Barber quarter series and put forth the intriguing question, "Where have they all gone?" Indeed, only in the lowest circulated grades through VG will most collectors succeed in acquiring an 1897-S. Even mid grade circulated coins are elusive, while anything better than VF is rare. Gems are exceedingly so, and the Miller specimen is among the finest certified survivors that we have handled in recent years. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 9; 4 finer (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 5618. NGC ID: 23YC. Click here for certification details from NGC.
