1895 Barber Quarter. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. A Superb Gem that features full frosty mint luster and rich original obverse toning of bold champagne-pink, pale gold, powder blue and olive-gray patina. The more reserved, yet no less handsome reverse displays pewter gray and cobalt blue. The strike is razor sharp throughout with full detail to all of the trouble spots of this design (the obverse stars, the eagles left talon, etc.). Expertly produced and carefully preserved, it is difficult for us to imagine a more outstanding 1895 Barber quarter. The 1895 is a bit more obtainable in Mint State than the 1894. Both issues qualify as "better dates" among circulation strike Barber quarters from the Philadelphia Mint. In PCGS MS-67+ the Pogue specimen offered here is tied for finest certified, and ranks among the finest known for this underrated issue. Worthy of the strongest bids.
