Won-
derful iridescent blue and lavender toning on both sides,
includes some intense cobalt blue shading as well. Only 777
struck. Not even a hint of weakness on this marvelous sharply
struck Proof, with the key central areas strongly hit by the dies.
Near-pristine Barber Quarters like this are rarely offered for

PCGS graded Proof 65.
CAC Approved

PQ.
Lovely
toning on both sides. Only 755 struck. A lustrous example that
has nice reflective brilliance under the toning. Those who are
expecting the design left by the dies to be robust and clear-
edged, take heart, since this is an exceptional coin and not
weak in the slightest. It is, in fact, very bold.

PCGS graded Proof 64
. Housed in an Old Green
Holder. Only 675 minted. Light blue and gold toning. Long a
popular series with collectors, Barber Quarter Proof Set collect-
ing is still a major challenge in finding attractively toned speci-
mens like this. No Proof date in the series, however, can be
considered rare or expensive, which is why assembling a date
set inspires many collectors to do so.

PCGS graded Proof 67 Cameo
. Only 700 minted.
A fully white gem cameo. For those who cannot live without
high quality and associated grade rarity wrapped up in a
single unit, this 1912 Barber Proof is for you. The quality of
this piece is expressed in its surface. Deep, flowing, impair-
ment-free mirrors on the obverse & reverse are met with
cameo frosted devices giving this Superb Gem 67 a pro-
nounced cameo impact which is indicated on the PCGS
holder. This is one of the finer Proof Barbers of its year.
Those serious to bid should not let this Lot slip away.
While the Barber dime coinage carries a simple wreath
reverse, on the quarter and half dollar, a heraldic eagle,
similar to the one on the Great Seal of the United States, is
the central motif, with "QUARTER DOLLAR" or "HALF DOL-
LAR" and the mint mark (if any) located beneath it. As on
the Great Seal, the eagle holds a banner in its beak reading
"E PLURIBUS UNUM", and the amount of the motto visible
is helpful to numismatic graders in determining the condi-
tion on circulated specimens. A field of 13 stars (the same
number as on the obverse, representing the 13 original
American colonies) appears above the eagle, and on the
top edge, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" is inscribed.

NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo
. Fully white Gem Proof.
Only 700 struck. An hard to believe array of luster and mirror
flash supports bright vibrant frosted highlights making this an
eye-catching specimen and a special “catch” for the astute
buyer. Further, as a superb Proof, the devices are nicely struck
with the features comparable to the best preserved specimens
of this date ever offered.
