1916. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Head. Popular key date with a tiny mintage of only 52,000 pieces. Full Head examples are truly scarce, and mint state coins with or without sharp strikes like this are eagerly sought after. This example has it all, super clean surfaces, a bold strike on Liberty's head and shield along with abundant eye appeal. A perfect coin to top off any advanced Standing Liberty collection. A nice white coin with strong luster. Only 52,000 struck, and seldom found in grades even approaching this sparkling jewel (PCGS # 5705) Estimate Value $21,000 - 22,000

1916. NGC graded MS-62 Full Head. Frosty and white with a touch of golden tone starting to form. This is the popular key date which represents the first year of issue. Only 32,000 struck and the entire batch of 1916 Standing Liberty quarters were released with the first group of 1917 quarters, so most of these entered circulation unnoticed. Hence, years later when date collecting became more popular, 1916 Standing Liberty quarters were downright scarce. Thus, nice Mint State coins like this, with full strikes, are in high demand from collectors. If you need a high grade example for your date set, don't miss this offering! Estimate Value $11,000 - 12,000

1916. PCGS graded MS-63. Nicely toned with pale golden hues over satiny luster. The strike is typical with slight softness on Liberty's head and the upper portion of her shield. Clean surfaces and pleasing in every reguard, especially considering the rarity of this issue. Curiously the release ofthe new design of Standing Liberty quarters was planned for 1917, but for unknown reasons production began with a modest issue of 1916 dated Standing Liberty quarters, no formal announcement was made and these 1916s were released with the first batches of 1917 Standing Liberty quarters. Thus most examples are circulated today, and finding a bright, fresh and lusterous coin like this is a tough proposition given the modest reported mintage. Popular key date. Only 52,000 struck (PCGS # 5704) Estimate Value $11,000 - 12,000
