Standing Liberty Quarters
1927-S 25C MS67 PCGS. One of the 10 finest-certified examples at both services combined (3/17), this Superb Gem 1927-S quarter is well-preserved and visually spectacular, particularly in comparison to the often dull and lifeless merits of lower-end Mint State pieces. The pristine, mark-free surfaces offer booming luster and a soft cartwheel effect. Each side is delicately toned in champagne hues with original shades of golden-brown that mix with splashes of iridescence at the rims. Although the strike does not merit the Full Head designation, it is slightly above average overall, with only localized areas of weakness that are common to this issue -- on the shield rivets, head and central gown lines. This is a remarkable quarter that will certainly become a favorite of its new owner, and a piece that can be admired by all collectors for its remarkable technical quality and aesthetic beauty.
We recently offered an MS67 example of this key date in our February 2017 Long Beach Signature sale, lot 3744. PCGS-certified, it realized $43,475. The present coin is arguably finer in terms of aesthetics. These are the only two Superb Gem examples of this date that we have handled in nearly eight years. Population: 6 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer (3/17).
