Lot 1098
1926-D Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Head. A hint of light toning. This is the case in point of an extremely common issue (rolls of 1926-D quarters were still floating around the numismatic market as recently as the 1990s) in extremely rare condition: with a full strike and a full head on Liberty. It seems that mint in Denver was slacking off in 1926. Badly so. The nickels struck there that year are atrocious. The quarters, too, about as poorly made as any in this short-lived series that ran from 1916 to 1930. Yet a few, but only a few, 1926-D quarters, look like their brethren from the Philadelphia Mint. That is what is on display here. That is why we are proud to offer the current lot. A few '26-Ds were smacked squarely and properly by the coining dies. These few, of which this lovely toned PCGS example is a sterling impression, look the way this coin is meant to look. If you, as a collector, are anticipating the completion of a sharp set of standing Liberties, then it would be unthinkable and bad sportsmanship to pass on the current lot. We feel that the coin will provide years of genuine pleasure for the final bidder. For good or bad, it will likely go down in the record books as setting a new price realized high. Before memories dim, then, now is the time to act by submitting your bid. This minute, if not earlier! Pop 18; 11 finer in 66 (PCGS # 5757) .
Estimated Value $13,000 - 14,000.
