1916 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63 Full Head. A splendid "PQ" example of this key date, with its mintage of only 52,000 pieces. It was rare from the moment it was created! This fine example is devoid of marks of almost any kind, only the tiniest being located under magnification. Its color is steel gray with some lovely hues of lilac and green iridescence. The strike is a touch soft, as often found, on the shield and on Liberty's bare breast (that feature found "offensive" back in 1916 which caused the design to be changed for 1917). If you are seeking a super example of this American classic, here's one for you!
