Second Condition Rarity 1892-S Quarter Type II Reverse 1892-S Barber Quarter. Type II Reverse. MS-66+ (PCGS). Very nearly the equal of the Superb Gem 1892-S in the preceding lot, the present coin is a very desirable example of the Type II Reverse hub. Beautiful surfaces display warm pearl gray, reddish-apricot, silver-olive, champagne-pink and, on the reverse only, powder blue. Both sides are silky smooth, as befits the assigned grade, and also offer lovely mint luster and pinpoint striking detail. The different reverse hub types of the first year Barber quarter issues have not garnered significant attention from numismatists, with only the most advanced specialists usually seeking an example of both for the 1892, 1892-O and 1892-S. The Type II Reverse is the scarcer hub type for the 1892-S, which is the opposite of what is true for the 1892 and 1892-O. The present example is rare from a condition standpoint, and it would make an impressive addition to a world class Barber quarter set. Estimate: $8,000 - $10,000. PCGS Population: 2; 3 finer (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 5603. NGC ID: 23XV. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
