Lot 1690
1923 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. One of the finest graded of this date, and at a glance one can see why. Iridescent gold toning over blazing luster in the fields, quite beautiful we note. An important year, the roaring 20's were just getting started, the painful post World War I recession had ended and the stock market was starting its epic rise. A land boom had developed in Florida, and many wealthy east coast families purchased property in that state to escape the harsh winters of the north. Somehow this quarter has survived in pristine condition, fully struck and with delicate toning. The strike on this piece is quite sharp, but not quite "full" as the tiny leaves in Liberty's crown are poorly defined, while her head is very nearly full. The shield bosses and horizontal lines are present, and this coin is very close to the coveted "full" designation. Just 10 coins have been graded as such by PCGS, with 2 additional with the Full Head designation, there are none graded higher in either category.
We strongly suggest that this coin be compared with the 1924 PCGS MS-66 FH to follow, note how similar the details on the head are, and note that the 1923 has a better strike on the shield. Always take the time, and advantage of this wonderful offering to expand your knowledge. A chance to see so many wonder coins is rare, and we are proud and thrilled to be able to offer them to all collectors. Many years went into building this superb set.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200.
