1913 25C MS (PCGS#5664)

March 2020 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Exceptional 1913 Barber Quarter The Single Finest Graded by PCGS 1913 Barber Quarter. MS-67+ (PCGS). Simply put, this is a beautiful coin. The obverse is splashed with intensely vivid toning in crimson-apricot, emerald green and antique gold around a brilliant center. The reverse is predominantly antique silver with mottled crimson-copper toning at the periphery. Close to pristine, the surfaces are silky smooth with full, frosty mint luster. A razor sharp strike adds to the appeal of this delightful Superb Gem. The 1913 has the lowest mintage among Philadelphia Mint circulation strike Barber quarters at just 484,000 produced. When viewing this series as a whole, only the 1914-S and the key date trio (1896-S / 1901-S / 1913-S) have lower mintages. However, the 1913 was saved in significant enough quantities that Uncirculated examples through MS-64 are only considered scarce, not rare. True Gems are indeed rare, while Superb Gem such as this are exceedingly so. A particularly desirable coin due to the vivid toning, the Pogue specimen would serve as a highlight in even the finest cabinet. Estimate: $15,000 - $20,000.
