1910 Barber 25C NGC Proof 68
<b>1910 Barber Quarter Dollar. NGC graded Proof 68.</b> A thrilling example of this always-popular Barber Type. This exception Proof specimen is well toned and very nicely struck, including clockwork precision seen in the eagle. This superb toned Proof has the appearance of a coin from an original Proof set stored in the mint tissue wrappers for the better part of a hundred years. In the early 1990s, a group of several dozen original Proof sets, now NGC or PCGS certified and sold individually, hit the market. They made quite a splash and were quickly absorbed by eager buyers. This Proof 68 quarter may trace to that remarkable group of Proof sets. NGC Pop: 8, with 7 higher.

Four unrelated events took place in 1910, the year of this Barber quarter: the Boy Scouts were established in U.S.; Halley&#39;s Comet made its appearance, Mark Twain died, and the Tango caught on as a popular dance <b>&#40;PCGS # 5696&#41;</b>
