1896-O Barber Quarter. MS-64 (PCGS).A bright and brilliant near-Gem with full mint luster in a softly frosted texture. The strike is above average by the standards of the issuing mint, especially on the reverse where we note sharp to full detail throughout the design. With a limited mintage of 1,484,000 pieces and a high rate of attrition suffered through circulation, the 1896-O is a semi-key date Barber quarter even in well worn condition. In Mint State it is a rarity, the present offering a significant find for the advanced collector.
