Lot 809
1916 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63 Full Head. Here is a classic rarity in choice grade, with a full head no less! Mint records show 52,000 were struck, most of which promptly entered circulation. Some were saved as the first of their issue, as is probably the case here. Well struck for this issue, about a third of which show a full head, the majority weaker on the head and shield than seen here. This one is toned with mottled gold and smoke hues on both sides under which lies abundant luster. Examination notes a couple of faint marks on the lower left obverse. Always in high demand as the rarity of the series, aside from the overdate.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
From the Benson collection and purchased from Dr. Mann on April 28, 1945 for $40.00.
