Description du lot

Scarce 1917-S Type II Quarter 1917-S Standing Liberty Quarter. Type II. MS-66 (PCGS). Wisps of iridescent reddish-apricot toning adorn the peripheries of this otherwise brilliant example. The surfaces are intensely lustrous with a smooth, satiny texture that is knocking on the door of an even higher Mint State grade. Despite having only a slightly lower mintage (5,552,000 vs. 6,224,400 coins), the 1917-S Type II is markedly scarcer in all grades than its Denver Mint counterpart. This flashy upper end Gem will please even the most discerning numismatist. Provenance: From the George Schwenk Collection. PCGS Population: 24; 6 finer in this category (Proof-67+ finest). PCGS# 5718. NGC ID: 2436. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
