Lot 453
1924. PCGS graded MS-67 Full Head. Fully white and well struck. An example whose rich frosty white luster pulsates with an inner energy like atomic fission. No more than the luster comes a desirable strike. This elusive Standing Liberty Quarter is struck with scientific exactness throughout the head on Liberty as well as other key grading and focal points such as her drapery, the shield and surrounding cloth, the eagle and all reverse stars. Spot-free and shimmering with just-off-the-dies fresh look. Pop 10; 1 finer in 67+ (PCGS # 5747) .
Note: In an effort to increase the longevity of the date area in circulation, the Mint began to conduct experiments with this feature of the Standing Liberty Quarter in 1924. Beginning with the 1924, 1924-D, and 1924-S deliveries, coins of this type would display thinner, markedly tapered digits in the date. This is the same date logotype that would be employed on the Recessed Date deliveries of 1925-1930.
The 1924 has long been compared to the 1925, 1926, 1927, and 1928 in terms of overall availability in the non-Full Head state, however, opinion suggests that the '24-P is much rarer than those deliveries and more closely aligned to the 1923 when one considers the total number of coins known that are sharply struck.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500.
