 1897 Proof-68 Ultra Cameo (NGC). Heavily frosted motifs and deeply mirrored fields, pale champagne in color, form a startling and vivid cameo contrast. A truly splendid survivor from the Proof mintage for the date of 731 pieces. Of those seen thus far by NGC, only six grading events have been registered in the Ultra Cameo designation by NGC across the grading spectrum. Of that half dozen pieces, the present specimen is one of two events at the Proof-68 Ultra Cameo level, with none certified finer. Truly one of the most lovely Proof Barber quarters to ever come under our gaze.
NGC Census: 2; none finer within the designation.
