Lot 1691
1924 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Head. Put on your sun glasses to view this one, its snowy white in color with vibrant luster on both sides. Free of toning, and this looks like it was just pulled from the coining chute. Superb surfaces, even a strong glass and magnifier can hardly find a tick. Well struck on Liberty's head, with two bosses a bit mushy on the shield. We want to be perfectly clear, in an absolute sense there is some slight weakness on the top of Liberty's temple where the leaves extend from her crown, very similar to that on the 1923 offered before. To call this one full head (the 1924) and not the 1923 is unjust. We know this is splitting hairs (or leaves) but the bottom line is that these are both very well struck coins that any collector would be proud to own and display either. Again, an opportunity to learn about this wonderful series by examining several coins that represent one of the nicest collections of Standing Quarters ever formed.
Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,600.
