1895-S Barber Quarter. MS-66+ (PCGS). With highly lustrous, vividly toned and smooth surfaces, this coin was obviously set aside at the time of issue and subsequently handled with the utmost care. Both sides are frosty and have splashes of iridescent olive-russet toning on antique silver patina. The strike is full throughout and the coin is attractive in all regards. We anticipate strong demand from advanced Barber quarter enthusiasts.The 1895-S was produced to the extent of 1,764,681 coins, a much higher mintage than for the 1896-S the following year. However, it is still a significant condition rarity in its own right. It is undervalued in all Mint State grades, but especially in Gem condition. A rare find for astute collectors of Barber coinage.
