详细说明

1895-S/S Barber Quarter. Lawrence-101. Repunched Mintmark. MS-67 (PCGS). Of this conditionally challenging, 1.7 million piece issue, David Lawrence (<em>The Complete Guide to Barber Quarters, 2nd Edition</em>) writes: "Undervalued in all mint state grades, but especially in gem condition." We wonder what the author's specific comments about the present Superb Gem would have been, seeing that it is the single finest example of the issue certified by PCGS. Bathed in billowy mint frost, both sides are also veiled in lovely champagne-gold iridescence. There are no detracting abrasions, and even the most intricate elements of the design are fully struck. One of numerous important Barber quarter offerings in this sale, and a piece that would serve as a highlight in the finest set.<br /> <br /> <strong>Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers<br /> </strong>Registry Set owners take note! Watch this one fly when it crosses the auction block.
