Market Analysis: MS-66+ 1902-O quarter: $10,200
- Published: Oct 24, 2024, 8 AM
Realizing $10,200 Aug. 13 at Stack’s Bowers’ Rarities Night was a 1902-O Barber quarter dollar graded Mint State 66+ by Professional Coin Grading Service and carrying a green Certified Acceptance Corp. sticker recognizing quality within the grade. Stack’s Bowers wrote, “This otherwise brilliant example exhibits enhancing blushes of iridescent cobalt blue and champagne-pink peripheral iridescence that finds greatest expression along the lower right reverse,” calling it, “silky smooth, sharply struck, and fully frosty.”
The 1902-O issue is one of the better ones in the Barber quarter dollar series and becomes especially challenging in higher-Mint State grades. This coin also was part of the Gardner collection, selling for $7,050 at Heritage’s Part IV offering in October 2015, where Numismatic Guaranty Co. had graded it MS-66 and Heritage estimated only 100 Uncirculated survivors of the issue.
