Top Pop Proof 1889 Quarter Proof-68 (PCGS) CAC The Gardner Specimen 1889 Liberty Seated Quarter. Proof-68 (PCGS). CAC. A beautiful and original Gem Proof quarter with violet and sapphire iridescence across both sides. Liberty's portrait is incredibly frosty and virtually untoned, providing a strong cameo contrast against the mirrorlike fields. Incredibly sharp throughout and fully untouched even under magnified inspection. This specimen was included in the legendary collection of Liberty Seated specialist Eugene H. Gardner, which testifies to the exceptional quality. This is one of the very finest Proof 1889 Liberty Seated quarters to survive from a mintage of 711 pieces. It is one of just two coins at the Proof-68 level at PCGS with none finer in any category. Approval by CAC further emphasizes the superior quality. Given the low mintage and key date status of the year's related circulation strike quarter, this top-pop Ultra Gem Proof represents an important bidding opportunity for specialists or Registry Set collectors. Provenance: From the Dazzling Rarities Collection. Earlier ex Sotheby's sale of November 1999, lot 22: the Eugene H. Gardner Collection; Heritage's sale of May 2015, lot 98396; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' sale of September 2015, lot 122; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' sale of May 2017, lot 210.
