Barber Quarters
1898-S 25C MS65 PCGS. The 1898-S Barber quarter claims a nominal mintage of slightly more than 1 million pieces but few examples were saved by contemporary collectors. In fact, many coins were shipped overseas, to the Philippines and other destinations after the Spanish-American War. This delightful Gem displays sharply detailed design elements and vibrant mint luster under shades of lavender-gray and golden-brown toning. Population: 8 in 65 (1 in 65+), 2 finer (1/17).
