1898 Barber Quarter. Proof-68 Ultra Cameo (NGC).，An awe-inspiring example of both the type and issue, this virtually pristine Superb Gem really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. The devices exhibit razor sharp striking detail and a softly frosted texture, the latter feature contrasting markedly with deeply reflective fields. Delicate multicolored iridescence drifts across both sides, especially the reverse, with the boldest patina lining the left peripheries. Along with the 1896 and 1897, the 1898 is the most consistently well produced and attractive Proof in the Barber quarter series. Even so, few survivors from a mintage of 735 Proofs are as exquisite as this gorgeous specimen. Sure to sell for a premium bid to a quality conscious collector.，，
