FROM THE AMG COLLECTION Everything about this coin is SUPERB and high end! Exceptionally deep mirrors have a bold, watery reflection which is unencumbered by the wonderful peripheral toning, imparted by careful storage in an old album. The mirrors have a bold depth of clarity, which contrasts vividly against the thickly frosted design elements. Visually stunning cobalt and violet hues cling to the rims, softening to sunset orange-gold to silver brilliance in the center. Charles Barber began redesigning the dime, quarter, and half dollar in 1891, to replace the long running Seated Liberty types in use since 1838. Barber's design shows Liberty's head facing right, her hair hidden in a cap with crown of olive leaves and headband inscribed LIBERTY. The portrait of Liberty is very similar to contemporary designs produced by European mints. The designs continued use until 1916 when they were replaced by Adolph Weinman's Mercury dime and Walking Liberty half dollar and Hermon MacNeil's Standing Liberty quarter. With the end of the Barber dime series came the end of the early period of Proof coinage; Proofs would not be struck again until 1936. Only 1245 were struck. PCGS 14, NGC 9, CAC 9. Do not let the population figures fool you, there has never been a PCGS/CAC graded PR66 CAM ever sold via auction. The last PCGS-graded example sold three years ago, realizing $1,998 in October 2016. The current Collectors Universe value is $2,000. Scarce finer, there are 11 graded higher in the CAM designation. Cert. Number 25240618 PCGS # 084875
