The 1905 Barber Quarter Dollar Proof, graded PCGS PR-67+ CAC, is a beautiful example of early 20th-century numismatics. PCGS has graded 4 as PR67+ with just 4 finer. In CAC, there are 10 in PR67/67+ with a mere 1 finer. This coin is featured on the 1905 Proof Barber 25C PCGS Coinfacts webpage.
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a modest proof mintage of 727, this silver coin embodies the elegant neoclassical design by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber. Liberty adorns the obverse with a Liberty cap and laurel wreath, while the reverse features a heraldic eagle, capturing the era's artistic refinement amid America's progressive age.
Art historian Cornelius Vermeule writes, "Liberty's cap, incised diadem, and wreath of laurel were designed to echo all the depth and volume of her Olympian countenance … On both sides the simple dignity of motto, legend, and denomination binds the pictorialism into a cohesive tondo. The wealth of irregular surfaces and sharp angles is an almost electrifying aesthetic experience .... specimens [are] a pleasure to contemplate. The sculptor was unsurpassed in the mechanics of creating a durable design of monumental validity."
