[QUOTE="Elbesaar, post: 2362869, member: 26007"]Spotted this on Great Collections and it seems I was the sole bidder. This is a neat coin that not too many realize exactly why its so interesting. 1892 Proof Quarters had two Reverse Dies. Type 1 and Type 2. Eagle's wing tip covers part of the E in United { Type 1 } and the Eagle's wing tip covers almost all of the E in United { Type 2 }. There were only 1,245 Proof Quarters { all Types } minted in 1892. Its been estimated that approximately only 10% were the Type 1 Variety. Here's a coin which as started off as a PCGS 65 - resubmitted and received a "+" Upgrade - and sent to CAC where it was green beaned. When it was a "65" it had a lower serial number { 25354700 } once it was upgraded, it received a new serial number { 29443590 } .... The MS 65 & 65+ images were from Heritage. The 65+ / CAC images are from Great Collections. Looks like this is the start of a Quarter Proof Set....:happy: [IMG]http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad309/mfhayesatcomcastnet/Barber%20Quarters/image_zpsnl88vmv1.jpeg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad309/mfhayesatcomcastnet/Barber%20Quarters/image_zps1qhs89do.jpeg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad309/mfhayesatcomcastnet/Barber%20Quarters/image_zpseclcffzc.jpeg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad309/mfhayesatcomcastnet/Barber%20Quarters/image_zpsx7leb4bl.jpeg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad309/mfhayesatcomcastnet/Barber%20Quarters/1892%20Quarter%20PCGS%20PR%2065%20Plus%20OBV_zpsrqqxuft9.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad309/mfhayesatcomcastnet/Barber%20Quarters/1892%20Quarter%20PCGS%2065%20Plus%20REV_zps0oag1e2m.jpg[/IMG] A close up from GC ....
