- 1896 Barber Quarter. Proof-63 Cameo (NGC). CAC. Brilliant and beautiful Choice surfaces are boldly contrasted between mirrored fields and frosty motifs. Silver was high on the minds of politicians in 1896, most especially William Jennings Bryan in his second run for president, who gave his famous "Cross of Gold" speech at the Democratic convention in July 1896. The demand for Proof Barber quarters was strongest in 1892, the first year of the type, but as the 1890s wore on the production figures dropped somewhat thanks in part to the lingering effects of the Panic of 1893, and a lessening in numismatic interest at the time. Only 762 Proof 1896 Barber quarters were struck, though due to improvements in die preparation Cameo examples, as here, are encountered on a somewhat more frequent basis than for earlier issues.
