Standing Liberty Quarters
1919-S 25C MS65 Full Head PCGS Secure. Ex: North Shore. J.H. Cline succinctly summed up the importance of the 1919-S in his fourth-edition book: "The 1919-S has long been considered one of the key coins of the series among most collectors and dealers. The 1919-D and 1919-S are usually paralleled in price and rarity."
For this notoriously challenging issue (at least as far as Full Head coins are concerned), the strike on this 1919-S quarter is marvelous. Not only does Liberty's head show the intricate details that are so often lacking, the shield shows only minor incompleteness on the rivets and nearby drapery. Pleasingly preserved surfaces are strongly lustrous with a touch of frost, and the whole has a light golden cast with more violet elements at the left reverse, deepest at a spot just above 9 o'clock near the rim. This coin is more than a high number for a Registry Set; even if it were from a more common date, it would be easy to admire. Population: 11 in 65 Full Head, 10 finer (10/16).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2012), lot 4026.
