Lot 2787
1927-S Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. CAC Approved PQ. Frosty and mostly white. The head is more than ½ full. With only 396,000 pieces produced, the 1927-S is the principal rarity among regular issue Standing Liberty quarters after 1916 and the 1918 overdate. Some class it as even rarer than the 1916, although almost eight times as many coins were struck. The 1916 was saved in more substantial numbers as a "first year" design. Apparently very few people thought to set aside Mint State quarters in 1927 from the San Francisco mint as only a few dozen are extant today.
A lustrous white color coin gleaming with mint luster. The 1927-S in spectacular choice MS63 is far affordable than the higher grade examples of this key Standing Liberty date. And it must always be remembered that this issue is not found with the same depth of strike over Liberty's ear, as say, a 1927 Philadelphia Mint. There is always just a slight bit of softness in that area, even on the strongest 1927-S quarters. Pop 30; 143 finer. Popular key date (PCGS # 5764) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 7,500.
