Losbeschreibung

The otherwise brilliant silver white surfaces of this Standing Liberty quarter are enhanced by wisps of lovely iridescent toning in reddish-apricot and powder blue that find greatest expression at the borders. This is a smooth and frosty Gem with remarkably full striking detail throughout the design. The 1917-S is the scarcest Type I Standing Liberty quarter of this date in all Mint State grades, and also the most challenging to locate in the Full Head category. According to J.H. Cline in the fourth edition (2007) of his standard reference <em>Standing Liberty Quarters</em>, only 5% of the mintage of 1,952,000 coins has enough detail to qualify for an FH designation from the leading certification services. This dazzling Gem is certainly among the finest obtainable in today's market, and worthy of the strong bids.
