1909-O 25C MS64 Certification #13739871, PCGS #5655

Owner's Comments

Mintage: 712,000; Weight: 6.25 grams; Composition: .900 silver, .100 copper; Diameter: 24.3 mm; Reeded Edge; Designer: Charles E. Barber ===== Purchased from private party – October 2008. The Barber Quarter produced during the final year of operations at the New Orleans Mint is a semi-key date in the series and a very difficult coin to find in all but the very lowest of grades. Because of the big three key-dates in the series, the 1909-O Barber Quarter is often overlooked and is considered by some to be one of the most underrated dates in the series. Not only is the date difficult to find, but once one is found it is difficult to find with a decent strike. The present example is very well struck for the date. This all white example has slightly muted luster and just a few small hits in the fields which limit the grade. Less than ten examples have been certified by PCGS in gem condition or better.
