Standing Liberty Quarters
1923-S 25C MS66+ Full Head PCGS. CAC. A rare MS66+ Full Head example of the 1923-S quarter, this gorgeous coin is a rational choice for the Registry collector who is both a serious top-of-the-leaderboard candidate and judicious about spending. Frosty luster has a light silver base with touches of blue on much of each side and a clearer canary-yellow overtone across a minority of the coin, most obviously at the right reverse. With excellent head detail and only minor softness on the lower shield, this carefully preserved S-mint coin is a visual delight. Even the date is fully defined. The 1923-S is occasionally seen in high grade, but the Standing Liberty quarter specialist will recognize the obviously superior luster and visual appeal of the present example in comparison to its few peers.
