Standing Liberty Quarters
1924 25C MS68+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Just Having Fun Collection. The 1924 Standing Liberty quarter dollar sports a mintage approaching 11 million pieces, but it is elusive in Premium Gem condition and rare any finer. This is one of only a few dates in the series known to exist in MS68, but it is extremely rare so fine, even without a Full Head designation. PCGS and NGC combined have certified just seven MS68 non-Full Head coins, with the present Plus-designated piece being the finest overall, as well as one of only two MS68s in a PCGS holder (11/16).
Rainbow toning adheres to the margins on both sides, framing the silvery central areas, and each is awash with radiant luster. While Liberty's head is short of fully defined, the remaining design elements are well-struck, including all of rivets in the shield, the chain mail, and the usually troublesome leading edge of the eagle's left (facing) wing. This is an immaculately preserved representative that will be the crowning jewel in a number of high-end Standing Liberty quarter collections.
Ex: Just Having Fun Collection (Stack's/Bowers, 8/2012), lot 11420; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2015), lot 4115.
