Lot 502
1901-S Barber Quarter Dollar. NCS graded Details of VF-20 Improperly Cleaned. Popular key date with nice details. The earlier cleaning is now scarcely evident because the toning has begun to creep back in. The deepest shades come to a halt before crossing Liberty's face, although the cap shows medium levels of silver-gray. On the reverse, the lighter-gray of the eagle and stars stands out from a darker background. Bold S mintmark below the eagle's tail. Full strong LIBERTY on the headband with only the E at all faint. Full E PLURIBUS UNUM on the scroll on the reverse. Nice rims on both sides (bruise-free). This is the most talked about Barber quarter in the set. It hasn't got the lowest mintage. That honor goes to 1913-S. But it stands out as the scarcest date in all grades due to extensive circulation and outright loss due to attrition. Grades above "worn into the rims" AG3 have become increasingly desirable with the arrival of new collectors to the Barber quarter series.
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
