<B>1875 25C PR64 PCGS.</B></I> Type One Reverse. According to the 2007 <I>Guide Book,</B></I> 700 proof quarters were struck in 1875, while Larry Briggs (1991) gives a number of 630 pieces. In any event, Briggs further contends the 1875 is the rarest of the 1870s and 1880s proof quarters, saying that: "Possibly the mintage being incorrect or many proofs of this year being melted. Regardless quite elusive and underrated." The near-Gem in this lot displays cobalt-blue, lavender, and gold-tan patina in the fields. Sharply struck design elements are silver-gray, and are highlighted by reflective fields at all angles. Some faint, inoffensive hairlines prevent a higher grade.
