Lot 1686
1919-S. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Head. Another rarity in the series, the 1919-S suffers from weak strikes just like the 1919-D. From among the many, this coin remains one of the very finest of the date. Fully struck on Liberty's head and even the two normally flat bosses on the shield are clear and defined with only slight weakness on them. Even the horizontal shield lines on Liberty's tiny inset shield are visible. All is toned a delicate lilac rose over dancing luster. After examining this coin very carefully we are mystified why it was graded so moderately. Where are the bagmarks? What about hairlines? Neither are present, the quality of the surfaces is amazing, and must be seen to be appreciated. We would expect this coin to be graded higher in the future, and recommend it heartily. PCGS notes just 15 graded this high, with 14 graded higher in the full head category.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 9,000.
