Lot 826
1909-S. PCGS graded MS-66. Lovely lavender, gold and blue toning. Clearly the most visually arresting aspect of this coin is its soft, frosted mint luster. Full spinning luster on both sides, in fact, which nicely complements the eye-popping iridescent color. In many ways, the strike is almost more important than the mint bloom, primarily on issues where strike irregularity is common. The Barber Quarter series is generally quite well made, with the exception of certain O-mint issues. This 1909-S, handsome as it is, provides sheer boldness of strike that furnishes us something else to crow about, and something for bidders to appreciate. Simply describing a coin as "original" is sometimes a source of contention among numismatists, but in this case it absolutely applies. One look and we are sure you will agree. Pop 16; 2 finer in 67. (PCGS # 5656) .
Estimated Value $3,300 - 3,400.
