Lot Description

Lovely Premium Gem Mint State 1929-S Quarter 1929-S Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC. Attractively toned, both sides exhibit mottled peripheral highlights of reddish-copper, sandy-gold, bright orange and powder blue. Intensely lustrous with silky smooth surfaces and about as sharp a strike as one could hope for in the non-FH category. The penultimate San Francisco Mint issue in the Standing Liberty quarter series, the 1929-S is also popular with collectors due to a mintage of just 1,764,000 coins. Many were saved, however, making this an ideal candidate for inclusion in a Gem Mint State type set. Estimate: $500 - $700. PCGS Population: 12; 23 finer in this category (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 5776.
