Lot Description

1916-D Barber Quarter. MS-67 (NGC). A highly lustrous, virtually pristine Superb Gem, this beautiful coin combines a brilliant reverse with a vividly toned obverse. This issue's uncommonly high mintage (6,540,800 pieces) for a Barber quarter was achieved at the request of the Treasury Department, which issued orders to the Denver Mint to meet a sudden demand for coins of this denomination. As one of the most frequently encountered Barber quarters in numismatic circles, the 1916-D is popular for type purposes in both circulated and Mint State grades. The present example, with its remarkably well preserved surfaces and superior eye appeal, is seemingly earmarked for inclusion in an advanced collection. NGC Census: 12; 3 finer in this category (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 5674. NGC ID: 2426. Click here for certification details from NGC.
