FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART I. Ex D. Brent Pogue Collection, as noted on the insert. What a SUPERB example! The Pogue Barber quarters really stood out as exemplars for the type, and this one is virtually PRISTINE and ranks among the FINEST KNOWN, with just a single MS67 graded higher at PCGS. Beautiful! Both sides have a vivacious luster that ranges from satiny to bold swirling cartwheels, enhancing the natural, totally original reddish-gold, cobalt, apricot-rose, lilac, and soft champagne-peach hues that yield to brilliant pearly silver centers. Every detail is crisply rendered, fully brought up by a precision blow from the dies. A somewhat lower mintage of 1,230,000 was whittled down further by circulation. Even in higher circulated grades the 05-O quarter is quite scarce; in this lofty state of preservation it is EXTREMELY RARE, even more so with such a stunning look! PCGS 13, NGC 2, CAC 6. PCGS has graded 2 in this grade with just a single coin graded higher. The other coin is the Clapp-Eliasberg-Gardner-Premier Barber coin that we sold in May 2018 for $11,750. This coin is more evenly and delicately toned, and realized just shy of a five figure price in March 2020, where it realized $9,600. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $11,000. There is just a single MS67 graded by PCGS that last sold in October 2014 (that was ages ago!). This coin is worthy of the FINEST Barber quarter set and will see very strong bidding! Good luck! Cert.
