1908-O Barber Quarter. MS-67+ (PCGS). This virtually pristine beauty combines superior technical quality with strong eye appeal and will delight even the most advanced collector of Barber coinage. Both sides possess full mint frost that has not a single detracting blemish. Sharply struck overall, especially on the reverse, there is a touch of softness to a few of the stars along the left obverse border. Attractive blushes of multicolored peripheral iridescence framing pearl gray centers and add to the impressive eye appeal. As is true of many coins in this series, Gem and finer examples of the 1908-O are quite elusive. Prior to this offering of the Pogue Collection, in fact, we cannot recall ever having offered an example finer than MS-65. Offered here is the single finest certified 1908-O quarter at PCGS and NGC, the ultimate example of the issue in todays market, and worthy of the strongest bids.
