Lot 2770
1919-D Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Well struck with the head nearly full. Beautiful creamy-white luster throughout. Another choice coin from the Coltrin Collection. Bathed in silvery satiny elegance, the coin supports luster that is full over both sides with a shimmering, frosty texture. We are unable to locate any outwardly distracting abrasions, as befits the Gem MS65 grade. Furthermore, the strike is suitably bold over all features save for Liberty's head on the obverse which on this issue is seldom found full. The 1919-D is an elusive issue within the Standing Liberty Quarter series, a short run of coins that lasted only from 1916 to 1930. Just 1.9 million pieces were produced and the majority seen circulated, it ranks among the semi-keys of the series. Survivors are scarce-to-rare in all Mint grades, with Gems such as the example in this lot easily qualifying for close attention by competitive bidders. Pop 42; 26 finer with 1 in 65+, 25 in 66 (PCGS # 5730) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
