OMG! How does this coin even exist? To call it SUPERB, pristine, perfection, etc cannot even begin to convey the absolutely amazing technical and visual quality. WOW! This coin is clearly one of the FINEST KNOWN 1884 Proof quarters. The flashy, watery mirrored fields are totally without flaw, not even with a strong glass are you able to locate a line, a tick, or anything else on the glassy smooth surfaces, mint made or otherwise. Both sides are awash in totally original, rich toning; the obverse has a hint of of peripheral blue and orange tone, while the majority of the surface has a silver-rose iridescent patina. The reverse is much deeper and richer in color with green, rose, gold, azure, and tangerine hues. Every detail is needle point sharp, crisply defined, from an exacting blow. Housed in an old green tag holder, this magnificent coin is a standout, drop dead gorgeous example for type. Ex Century Collection, Superior, February 1992, lot 2139; Joe O'Connor to Gene Gardner, via private purchase, February 2012; Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Heritage, June 2014, lot 30414. Only 875 Proofs were struck. PCGS 2, NGC 1, CAC 3. This coin last sold in June 2014 for $25,850. Disregard any and all other pricing sources, they are not correct! There is a single PR69 graded, a coin that has not been seen in auction in nearly two decades! This stunning coin is worthy of the FINEST Seated Liberty quarter set or Proof type set. Either way, this is a world class coin bound for a major collection! Cert. Number 2676375 PCGS # 5585
