1916
Standing Liberty Quarter, NGC MS-64 Full Head! America’s
first lewd coin and in incredible condition. Full Head
coins are uncommon, as less than 3 percent are thought
to possess this attribute. In his Fourth Edition of
Standing Liberty Quarters, J.H. Cline writes: "The
dies were completed in July 1916 and lay idle until
December 16 before any striking took place. Striking
dies are made of high speed steel, which is difficult
to rustproof. As a result, accumulated rust combined
with subsequent polishing to remove the rust eroded
and diminished most high points on the dies." Generally
comes softly struck, this specimen shows beautiful surfaces
and is the absolute king of the Standing Liberty Quarter
series in terms of desirability. One of the great rarities
of all 20th century coinage. |
