Standing Liberty Quarters
1919-D 25C MS64+ Full Head PCGS. The 1919-D is a semikey overall, however, in Full Head, it ranks among the top rarities in the series. The auction appearance rate for this date in Full Head is far less than might be expected from the certified population figures. This will be one of the most challenging acquisitions for the Registry Set builder, even more so than the 1926-D.
The present Plus-graded near-Gem defies norms for the issue, showing a fully struck head, bold shield, and sharp stars. The date is clearly defined, not flat as is seen on so many other examples. This satiny, champagne-toned coin displays few abrasions and has overall pleasing visual appeal. A die crack runs through the date numerals and another appears at 2 o'clock on the reverse rim and extends into the wing. Population: 34 in 64 (3 in 64+) Full Head, 18 finer (10/16).
From The James Swan Collection of Standing Liberty Quarters.
The #1 PCGS Major Varieties Registry Set of Full Head Standing Liberty Quarters.
