1908-D Barber Quarter. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC. Very few circulation strike Barber quarters of any issue can rival this incredible 1908-D. Both sides display vivid toning of golden-olive, cobalt blue and rose-apricot. On the obverse the toning has a target-like pattern while on the reverse it is slightly more irregular. The coin is fully frosted, sharply struck overall and has virtually pristine surfaces. Although the mintage was 5,788,000 coins, Q. David Bowers (2019) notes that Gem Mint State survivors are "rare in relation to the generous mintage." Even rarer are the handful of Superb Gems extant, the Pogue specimen among the finest certified and worthy of the strongest bids. Gorgeous!
