Losbeschreibung

Toned Superb Gem 1928-S Quarter Tied for Finest Certified 1928-S Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-67+ FH (PCGS). CAC. This is a beautiful Superb Gem that must be experienced in-hand. A swath of neon pastels floods the lower obverse, introducing a blend of turquoise and golden shades. The surfaces are otherwise dusted in pinkish-bronze patina, with a particularly rich hue across the reverse. This color is highlighted by satiny luster and overall pristine surfaces. More common in Mint State than a limited mintage of 2,644,000 pieces might imply, the 1928-S was obviously saved in significant numbers at the time of issue. However, most survivors are poorly struck and lack definition to Liberty's head and shield elements. The present piece is a significant anomaly of this issue, sporting exceptional preservation and incredible sharpness. It is tied with just three others as the finest coins graded by PCGS. PCGS Population: 4; none finer. PCGS# 5771. NGC ID: 243Z. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
