1921. PCGS graded MS-67. Phenomenal quality and eye appeal for any date, but for a 1921 Standing Liberty, this is simply incredible quality. The strike is sharp, but not quite full as this one is barely missing a Full Head designation. In fact, we have seen examples with similar (or even less) detail receiving the coveted FH designation. All of the finer definition of the shield, drapery, toes and even the feathers is as crisp as one could hope to find. Both sides are essentially untoned, save for several small splotches of golden color on the reverse. Both 1s in the date are shaped like capital I's with broad width in their stature and surmounted by thinner yet tasteful serifs, resembling Greek columns. This style and numbering punch is unique to this particular issue and date in the Standing Liberty quarter series. Scrutiny of the surfaces finds all is in perfect harmony, with no mentionable handling marks or distracting specks or nicks to impair the majesty of the satin smooth luster. This represents the single finest certified by PCGS without the Full Head designation, and a prize worthy of the most advanced collection. Pop 1; none finer at both services. (PCGS # 5740) .
Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000.
