1894-S Barber Quarter. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC. Here is a sharply struck and incredibly frosty Gem Uncirculated example of this conditionally challenging issue. The design elements are about as crisp as ever seen for a circulation strike Barber quarter, and both sides display bold and vivid gold, blue, rose, violet and pale sea green, the sort of toning that takes decades to develop. If the beauty of this attractive Gem is not enough to tempt you, then perhaps the fact that the present coin is among the finest 1894-S Barber quarters known to PCGS may be of interest. In either case, this is a highly significant example of an issue that is scarce to rare in all but the lowest circulated grades. Remarkable!
