Proof Seated Quarters
1889 25C PR66+ PCGS. CAC. Briggs 2-B. Collectors often turn to one of the 711 proofs struck in 1889 instead of the elusive circulation strikes. It should be noted, though, that specimens as fine as this are rarities in their own right. Original dusky patina drapes each side, including shades of violet and blue. The mirrors remain flashy underneath. Population: 16 in 66 (2 in 66+), 5 finer. CAC: 2 in 66, 5 finer (11/16).
