Standing Liberty Quarters

Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 885		1916 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. NGC graded MS-65 Full Head. An outstanding example of this first year of issue, the coin has delicate gold and pink toning on both sides and is well struck, enough so for the coveted Full Head designation from NGC. Identifiable by a trivial bagmark below the D of GOD and a reeding mark below the center of the shield. NGC has graded just 19 this high, with a meager 8 graded higher with full heads. An important opportunity for the specialist of the series to purchase the first year of issue in fully struck gem condition. A beauty and rarity combined. Estimated Value $12,000-UP.

Lot 886		1916 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. AU-58. The key date and first year of issue of this important quarter series. We note the head on Liberty is slightly weak, but the entire shield bosses are present. Further, Liberty shows fine details on her toes and drapery folds, and the eagle has full feathers too. Mintage of a mere 52,000 will always keep this date in high demand, as many collectors desire a high grade example for their date sets. As to the surfaces, they were probably cleaned in the past, and the coin has since toned with iridescent shades on the upper obverse, and abundant gold hues around the edges. During 1916 and into 1917, the mints experimented with a curious surface quality on the dies, and many of the new coinage designs have a more satiny and grainy appearance than prior issues. Few signs of handling and a whisper of wear from mint state. Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $5,060
Lot 887		1916 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. VF-20. Silvery white in color with nice surfaces for the grade. Perfect for the album collector who needs this rare date, only 52,000 were coined and precious few seem to be around today. Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,335
