Standing Liberty Quarter Dollars
 
 
Lot Photo Description Realized
Lot 1454
1916. NGC graded MS-65 Full Head. A fully frosty white gem of this important first year of issue. Furthermore only 52,000 were struck and these were all released in early 1917 along with thousands of 1917 quarters! Hence the 1916 issue escaped into circulation unnoticed, and precious few were saved from this meager beginning. Finding one with a full head is a real challenge as most of those that were saved show more softness in the strike on Liberty's head than found here. And to top evertying off, the surfaces are fully Gem quality, with the satiny luster undisturbed by more than a few tiny scuffsand nicks. A prized example for the most advanced collection of this gorgeous series. A popular key date. Pop 47; 25 finer at NGC.
Estimated Value $25,000 - 27,000.

Lot 1455
1916. NGC graded MS-65. A frosty white coin. A popular key date that is seldom found in Gem condition. Only 52,000 struck and this is one of the finer examples known today. The surfaces are satiny and all but free of any sign of handling, with a decent strike on Liberty's head and the shield. Remarkably, these were struck right at the tail end of 1916, and were not released separately but along with the 1917 quarters once they were struck. Hence few were saved as these just appeared to be part of the general new issue. It wsn't until sometime later that the rarity of the 1916 Standing Liberty quarters became known, but by then most had been in circulation for some time. Pop 24; 7 finer, 1 in 65+, 3 in 66, 1 in 66 Star, 2 in 67.
Estimated Value $18,000 - 19,000.

Lot 1459
1918-S, 8 over 7. PCGS graded VF-25. Popular over date. Mostly untoned with pleasing silver-gray dominating the surfaces with a touch of russet at the rims.The surfaces offer smooth wear and are trouble free after brief circulation. The overdate feature is clear but does show the expected wear on the uppermost portions of the digits. A truly rare issue that is seldom found and the total numbers reported today are much lower than many collectors realize. As such, this remains the key to the set along with the first year of issue 1916. A pleasing representative of this important mint blunder (PCGS # 5726) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400.
