Standing Liberty Quarters
1926-S 25C MS65 Full Head PCGS. Like many S-mint issues from the 1920s, most 1926-S quarters are poorly struck; Gem-quality examples with sharp Full Heads are rare. Cline describes the rarity of this date in Gem Full Head to be similar to that of the 1926-D, a long-known strike rarity. The certified population figures readily substantiate that comparison.
Exceptionally bold detail is seen on Liberty's head, as well as the reed and bead around the border and the stars on both sides of this delightful Gem. The eagle's breast feathers, the lower shield rivets, and Liberty's torso are slightly soft, though the specialist will realize they appear so on virtually all 1926-S quarters with or without Full Head. Strong, frosty luster blankets both sides. Faint pastel hues are seen upon close examination. Population: 21 in 65 Full Head, 11 finer (10/16).
Ex: Larry Whitlow, Ltd. (5/2007); Eugene H. Gardner Collection (Heritage, 6/2014), lot 30459.
From The James Swan Collection of Standing Liberty Quarters.
