Market Analysis: Top Proof Barber quarters

BREAKING

Proof Barber dimes and quarters can be stunning, especially when they are in the top grades.

Due to their close proximity to 1895 Morgan Dollars, the 1895 Proof Barber coins have become well-known. Heritage offered an 1895 Barber quarter-dollar graded Proof68 by Professional Coin Grading Service. Heritage also included a green Certified Acceptance Corp. sticker. Heritage noted that the coin was "Regally toned in shades royal-blue & dusky rose, and silver mirrors shine through its fantastic, original tone."

It was worth $14,400

The next lot, a 1911 Barber quarter-dollar, was also graded and "green beansed", but it comes from a smaller number of 543 coins as opposed to 880 in 1895. Heritage also noted the razor-sharp strike of this coin, noting, "The almost flawless surfaces are covered in vivid shades o sea-green, cerulean blue, and magenta toneing."

It made $8,100 despite a smaller mintage than its 1895 counterpart.
