Lot 1093
1916. NGC AU Details improperly cleaned. A pleasing looking coin that was probably cleaned decades ago and now lightly toned. Popular Key Date and always in demand. Some might even want to say this is a noteworthy example of this classic 20th century rarity. Only a small minority of the upper grade survivors of this important Standing Quarter issue qualify as possessing full head definition, an attribute of the design which the Mint revised with the 1917 coinage (incorporating a brand-new hub). This example will toned in time, and exhibits acceptable surfaces. Strike definition is about average for the issue. In addition to the full date and most other details, the other design elements in the eagle are also nicely detailed. All of the rivets on the outer shield show but tend to be weak, as always. The surfaces on this specimen aren’t all that bad. Specimens of the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter dollar are far and few between.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
