Sharply impressed and with just a couple of ticks, some in either field on the obverse. Estimated Value $300 - 400. View details	Realized $374
Lot 1670		1916. MS-65 Nearly A Full Head. Here is the key date to the series, aside from the overdate issue. The head is well struck, but not quite full, same with the shield, which is only weak on a couple of the bosses (the pellets surrounding the shield). Toned with speckled gold over the satiny luster peculiar to the 1916-17 issues. One curious weak area on the obverse is the stars near Liberty's leg. The toning is somewhat distracting on the obverse, nicer and lighter on the reverse with just minor flecks of color near the lettering and devices. Well struck on the eagle, and the fields show decidedly few marks from handling. We expect a lot of action when this coin crosses the block. Estimated Value $12,000 - 15,000. View details	Realized $13,800
Lot 1671		1916. PCGS graded MS-63 Premium Quality. A lovely choice example of this rare date, only 52,000 were struck and most are found in low grades today. This one has a partial head on Liberty, one that is not quite fully struck. Nevertheless, the surfaces are fresh with mint luster, and the coin boasts a hint of golden toning starting to form. The key date to the series, and ever popular with specialists. Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $7,763
Lot 1672		1917 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. Type 1. PCGS graded MS-67 Full Head. With this coin we begin a magnificent and memorable set of Standing Liberty Quarters. Each coin was carefully selected for outstanding quality and mint fresh luster. Bagmarks are few and far between, and this set is clearly one of the very finest to have ever been assembled of this, one of our most beautiful coins ever struck. This is tied for the finest graded of the date by PCGS, only 31 have been rated as such by that service. One tiny tick mark is noted on Liberty's neck, and the surfaces exude the abundant satiny luster seen on silver coinage of this date. Both sides have light gold toning and the strike, of course, is full and complete on Liberty's head and her shield. Unimprovable quality for the date. Estimated Value $3,200 - 3,700. View details	Realized $3,680
Lot 1673		1917 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. Type 1. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Head. Bright and lustrous with abundant appeal and virtually free of contact marks. Surprisingly inexpensive in this grade. Estimated Value $250 - 300. View details	Realized $719
Lot 1674		1917 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. Type 1. MS-64 Full Head. Boldly struck and with a single tick mark on Liberty's breast. Flashy luster and completely white. Estimated Value $200 - 250. View details	Realized $368
Lot 1675		1917 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. Type 1. MS-64 Full Head. This one has delicate gold toning on both sides, and remains lustrous. Estimated Value $200 - 250. View details	Realized $552
Lot 1676		1917 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. Type 1. PCGS graded MS-63 Full Head. This one is bright and well struck with the fullness that makes this such a beautiful design. Satiny luster and enhanced by a delicate golden tone. Certainly the appearance of a higher grade, and one that will probably be resubmitted. Estimated Value $175 - 200. View details	Realized $391
Lot 1677		1917 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. Type 1. PCGS graded MS-63. Sparkling with luster and subdued by a faint rose pink blush of color. Sharply struck and boasting the peculiar luster seen on 1916-17 silver coinage. Estimated Value $175 - 200. View details	Realized $253
Lot 1678		1917 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. Type 1. AU-58. Just a touch of rub and satiny. Untoned. Estimated Value $100 - 120. View details	Realized $138
Lot 1679		1917-D Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. Type 1. PCGS graded MS-67 Full Head. Stunning quality for the date! The surfaces are simply pristine, nary a mark to be found even under the scrutiny of a 10X glass and strong light. Boldly struck, even on the highest points of Liberty's head and her shield. As to the luster, it is ablaze with snowy white. No signs of toning on this one, just acres of satiny white luster undiminished by time or trial. PCGS has only graded 6 coins this high, and of course, there are none graded higher. Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000. View details	Unsold
Lot 1680		1917-S Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. Type 1. PCGS graded MS-67 Full Head. Wow, this coin is impeccable, the surfaces nudge perfection back another notch, they are so superb! All is delicately toned with light gold shades, which completely fail to diminish the blazing luster. As to the strike, it is as complete as can be imagined. Full head on Liberty fails to encompass the shield and other design elements, which are each crisp and complete. Certainly one of the very finest known of the date, with just 4 graded this high by PCGS, with none graded higher. Keep that in mind when formulating your bid. Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000. View details	Realized $7,763
Lot 1681		1918 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Head. This one is lightly toned with gold near the edges and frosty white at the centers. Only a couple of trivial ticks from perfection, two on Liberty's right leg near her knee and another near the fifth star counting up on the left. On the reverse, a single hidden tick is noted on a feather tip. Hard to believe this coin is only called MS-65. Two of the shield bosses (the little round bullets that surround the shield) are weak. A beauty. Estimated Value $900 - 1,100. View details	Realized $978
Lot 1682		1918-D Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Flashy luster but slightly weak on the head, although the leaves show a bit of separation at the top. Superb fields which show almost no handling marks whatsoever. Die crack through the upper date and D of UNITED. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. View details	Unsold
Lot 1683		1918-D Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Head. Here is a tough date in high grade, especially with the full head. Only slight weakness on the shield and central portions of Liberty. Satiny luster graced by a delicate gold tone on the edge. Just 42 graded higher, and 64 graded this high. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,500. View details	Realized $1,208
Lot 1684		1918-S. 8 over 7. PCGS graded MS-64 Premium Quality. Here is the key date to the series, discovered in 1937 long after most had entered circulation. Searching has turned up a few in mint state, but this date remains very rare in all grades. Apparently the crush was on in late 1917 to produce lots of quarters. Anthony Comstock and his cohorts had forced the mints to change the original MacNeil design of a bare breasted Liberty by covering over her with a chain mail top. Philadelphia had to produce new master hubs, barely in time to get new dies shipped to Denver and San Francisco, further dies had to be produced for 1918, which were made late in 1917 for shipment to the branch mints. Apparently one die was first struck by the 1917 hub, then somehow mixed back in with the dies and received a second blow from the 1918 hub, creating the overdate. This one has lovely rose gold toning over very lustrous surfaces. A few minor hairlines are noted on both sides. The strike is better than usually seen with more than half of Liberty's head showing. A couple of the bosses (the little shield bullets) are weak, as always. Bold overdate, with the 7 very clear beneath the 8. As to the PCGS Population Report, only 19 have been graded as such, with an additional 5 with a full head. Only 7 coins have been graded technically higher, none of which have a full head. Pretty meager pickin's if you want a high grade example of this date. We urge specialists to view this lovely example, and expect to pay a premium for its sparkling luster and delicate toning. This is truly the king of the series. Estimated Value $25,000-UP. View details	Unsold
Lot 1685		1919-D. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Head. Here is one of the really tough dates to locate in high grade. Denver, usually known for better strikes, must have turned down the striking pressure a bit to extend die life. Hence, few 1919-D quarters are found with a full head. This one doesn't have the die cracking mountains on Liberty's fine details, and two upper bosses are slightly weak on the shield, but this is much better than usual for the date. The leaves are fully outlined and the luster is outstanding. No signs of hairlines or other detriments, even the bagmarks are tiny and widely scattered, none worthy of note. Light gold toning on near the edges, and extremely appealing for the date. PCGS reports only 14 graded this high with the full head, and 13 graded higher for the date. Much more common with the weaker strike, but that was not the focus in this collection, which boasts full strikes and superb luster and color. Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500. View details	Realized $10,350
Lot 1686		1919-S. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Head. Another rarity in the series, the 1919-S suffers from weak strikes just like the 1919-D. From among the many, this coin remains one of the very finest of the date. Fully struck on Liberty's head and even the two normally flat bosses on the shield are clear and defined with only slight weakness on them. Even the horizontal shield lines on Liberty's tiny inset shield are visible. All is toned a delicate lilac rose over dancing luster. After examining this coin very carefully we are mystified why it was graded so moderately. Where are the bagmarks? What about hairlines? Neither are present, the quality of the surfaces is amazing, and must be seen to be appreciated. We would expect this coin to be graded higher in the future, and recommend it heartily. PCGS notes just 15 graded this high, with 14 graded higher in the full head category. Estimated Value $7,000 - 9,000. View details	Realized $12,650
Lot 1687		1920 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Well struck with most of Liberty's head showing. Flashy and bright. Estimated Value $175 - 200. View details	Realized $230
Lot 1688		1920-S Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. ANACS graded MS-65. Deep gold toning on the obverse with satiny, brighter on the obverse. Well struck, with only a bit of weakness on Liberty's head and a couple of the bosses on the shield. A rare date, and this one has nice surfaces and appealing color. Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,600. View details	Realized $1,438
Lot 1689		1921 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Head. Flashy luster throughout with a very sharp strike on the devices, including Liberty's head, hand and shield. On the reverse, there is some mottled toning, including a curious tiny thread above the eagle in the field, inside the holder. PCGS reports 51 graded this high, with 51 graded higher in the full head category. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,400. View details	Realized $1,610
Lot 1690		1923 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. One of the finest graded of this date, and at a glance one can see why. Iridescent gold toning over blazing luster in the fields, quite beautiful we note. An important year, the roaring 20's were just getting started, the painful post World War I recession had ended and the stock market was starting its epic rise. A land boom had developed in Florida, and many wealthy east coast families purchased property in that state to escape the harsh winters of the north. Somehow this quarter has survived in pristine condition, fully struck and with delicate toning. The strike on this piece is quite sharp, but not quite "full" as the tiny leaves in Liberty's crown are poorly defined, while her head is very nearly full. The shield bosses and horizontal lines are present, and this coin is very close to the coveted "full" designation. Just 10 coins have been graded as such by PCGS, with 2 additional with the Full Head designation, there are none graded higher in either category. We strongly suggest that this coin be compared with the 1924 PCGS MS-66 FH to follow, note how similar the details on the head are, and note that the 1923 has a better strike on the shield. Always take the time, and advantage of this wonderful offering to expand your knowledge. A chance to see so many wonder coins is rare, and we are proud and thrilled to be able to offer them to all collectors. Many years went into building this superb set. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200. View details	Realized $1,093
Lot 1691		1924 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Head. Put on your sun glasses to view this one, its snowy white in color with vibrant luster on both sides. Free of toning, and this looks like it was just pulled from the coining chute. Superb surfaces, even a strong glass and magnifier can hardly find a tick. Well struck on Liberty's head, with two bosses a bit mushy on the shield. We want to be perfectly clear, in an absolute sense there is some slight weakness on the top of Liberty's temple where the leaves extend from her crown, very similar to that on the 1923 offered before. To call this one full head (the 1924) and not the 1923 is unjust. We know this is splitting hairs (or leaves) but the bottom line is that these are both very well struck coins that any collector would be proud to own and display either. Again, an opportunity to learn about this wonderful series by examining several coins that represent one of the nicest collections of Standing Quarters ever formed. Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,600. View details	Realized $1,553
Lot 1692		1925 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Head. The dies were modified a bit in 1925 to sink the date a little deeper, so it wouldn't wear away quite so quickly after brief circulation. Reflective with excellent luster and a touch of deep gold toning flecks around the rims. A true full head, with complete details on Liberty, the only weakness is on the usual two bosses on the shield, which are a bit mushy. Examination with a glass will note a couple of ticks, but they are minor and not distracting. One of only 80 graded as such by PCGS, with a mere 31 graded higher with a full head. Estimated Value $500 - 600. View details	Realized $546
Lot 1693		1925 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. MS-64. This one has flashy luster and is without toning. Slight weakness on Liberty's head and shield. In an unknown grading service holder "U.S. Rare Coin Certification & Trading Co., Inc." as MS-65. Our grade is MS-64 for this coin. Make your own judgment. Estimated Value $175 - 200. View details	Realized $201
Lot 1694		1926-D. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Head. We are proud to present one of the highlights of this magnificent collection. This is tied for the finest graded of the date, with just 7 in its grade category according to the PCGS Population Report. Of course, there are none graded higher. Not only is this a low mintage date, with a scant 1,716,000 struck, but only 55 have been graded with a full head in any of the mint state grades. Pitifully few are well struck, nearly all have flat heads. Not so here, as Liberty's head is well struck, as are the three leaves in her crown. The usual two bosses are mushy on the shield, but all else is crisp and bold. Don't miss out on this unimprovable specimen if you ever want to complete your set. Estimated Value $15,000-UP. View details	Realized $17,825
Lot 1695		1926-S. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Head. Satiny luster on both sides and very well struck for this usually weak date. Liberty's head is full, with complete separation on her little leaf crown, and with only a hint of weakness on her upper curls. Shield weakness as always, but far better than the norm. One of the finest graded, only 8 have earned a grade this high, and of course, none are graded higher. An outstanding opportunity to purchase another of the real stoppers in this series in superb grade. Flashy luster and with a tiny spot located on the top left star. Free of all but the most trivial signs of contact. Estimated Value $20,000-UP. View details	Unsold
Lot 1696		1927-D Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Head. One of the finest graded with only 8 rated this high by PCGS, and none higher. The surfaces are satiny and very flashy, a few light toned areas around the periphery, and all is sharply struck save for the usual two bosses on the shield. Hints of iridescent colors on both sides when examined, add to the allure of this spectacular coin. A condition census piece that would enhance any collection. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000. View details	Realized $3,335
Lot 1697		1927-S Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. ANACS graded AU-50. One of the key dates to the Standing Liberty series and seldom found in high grade. This one is silvery white in color, and shows light wear on the upper devices. The head on Liberty is a touch weak, as usual, but most of the details are clear. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. View details	Unsold
Lot 1698		1928-D Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. A pair, both grade MS-65, one by NGC, the other by PCGS. The PCGS coin is flashy with just a bit of toning, and most of a head on Liberty, while the NGC coin has a bit more color and appears more satiny. Both are beautiful gems. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $800 - 900. View details	Unsold
Lot 1699		1928-S Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. NGC graded MS-65 Full Head. Blazing luster and well struck for this date. Excellent surfaces that show few signs of contact anywhere. A beauty. Estimated Value $300 - 400. View details	Realized $368
Lot 1700		1929-D Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Head. Rare with the full head, Denver was trying to extend die life again by turning down the striking pressure. There are some light die cracks on both sides. A blazer that has no toning and clean surfaces for the grade. Impressive and well made. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,400. View details	Realized $1,323
Lot 1701		1930 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Head. This is a coin that is actually more common with a full head than not, according to the PCGS Population Report. Now that the series was being terminated, the mints finally got it right. Flashy luster and well preserved, with lovely color and surfaces throughout. Estimated Value $400 - 500. View details	Realized $506
Lot 1702		1930-S Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Head. The final year of issue, this one has delicate gold toning around the rims and bright white at the centers. One small tick hidden on the B of PLURIBUS on the reverse, otherwise mint fresh and without detractions. Only 45 graded this high, with 9 graded higher with Full Heads. Don't miss out on this set, it will be a long time before we see this many superb coins offered. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200. View details	Realized $1,035
