<B>1914 25C PR68 PCGS.</B></I> After initial strong sales in 1892, demand for silver proof sets waned rapidly, as collectors gave the Barber design the cold shoulder. Production showed a distinct downward trend throughout the lifetime of the design, reaching its nadir in 1914. In that year, Philadelphia struck a mere 380 proof quarters; this was the lowest reported mintage for the denomination since 1858.<BR> Of those 380 pieces, this is one of the most undeniably appealing survivors, one of four PR68 pieces graded by PCGS with none finer (2/08). The decisively struck and gleaming specimen offers a delightful melange of gold, rose, sea-green, aqua, and violet patina. Impressively preserved, virtually pristine, and a delight to behold.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Charles E.
