Standing Liberty Quarters
1916 25C MS63 PCGS. Uncirculated non-Full Head 1916 Standing Liberty quarters in MS63 or better condition appear at auction far less frequently than might be expected after a glance at the certified population reports. This seems to support long-held beliefs among many specialists in the series that the 1916 is a frequent target of upgrade attempts, and that the population reports likely reflect a number of resubmissions and crossovers. Full Head Mint State pieces are more frequently offered at auction than their non-Full Head counterparts, likely due to a more active collector market for the FH designation.
The budget-conscious Standing Liberty quarter collector seeking a nice Mint State example of the series key will want to give the present Select coin close consideration. Satiny luster on each side displays faint traces of pale champagne color. Slight strike softness is almost unnoticed on the obverse due to the mushy nature of the 1916 design but shows on the reverse along the leading edge of the eagle's left (facing) wing. A few light abrasions are not distracting for the grade.
