1899-O Barber Quarter. MS-66 (PCGS). A bright and brilliant example that boasts pristine-looking surfaces and a virtually full strike from the dies. Due at least in part to a relatively generous mintage of 2,644,000 pieces, the 1899-O is one of the more readily obtainable New Orleans Mint Barber quarters in lower Mint State grades. Gems such as this remain rare, however, underscoring the fleeting bidding opportunity that this offering represents.
