Owner's Comments

Although known to be a tough date, the 1895-O quarter is nonetheless underrated as compared with its New Orleans brethren of 1896 and 1898. In fact, the 1895-O quarter deserves the respect accorded the other denominations of that year and Mint. Needless to say, in MS67, the coin is a great prize. ANR, Drew St. John Sale (6/24/05:1520).

Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1895-O Barber Quarter has a mintage of over 2.8 million examples struck, however far fewer examples actually exist. Our PCGS CoinFacts condition Census estimates about 2,500 examples remain in existence. And the PCGS population Report shows about 300 examples have been graded in all grades combined. So, despite its large mintage, it seems far fewer examples were saved. Coins in Uncirculated condition are scarce, especially in MS65 or higher.

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better.

Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
