Standing Liberty Quarters
1916 25C MS65 Full Head NGC. A noteworthy Gem Full Head example of this classic 20th century rarity. Only a small minority of the Uncirculated survivors of this important Standing Quarter issue qualify as possessing full head definition, fewer still warrant an MS65 rating. This example is untoned, and exhibits booming luster. Strike definition is above average for the issue. In addition to the Full Head, the other design elements are also nicely detailed. All of the rivets on the outer shield, some of which are usually missing even on Mint State examples, show clearly. Likewise, the eagle's breast feathers are nicely defined. The surfaces on this specimen are impeccably preserved, with just one small mark apparent on Liberty's outstretched wrist. Specimens possessing the attributes of this particular coin are far and few between. Census: 51 in 65 (1 in 65+ Full Head, 2 in 65★), 22 finer (3/17).
Ex: Pittsburgh Signature (Heritage, 8/2004), lot 6000; Palm Beach Signature (Heritage, 11/2004), lot 6611.
