Lot Description

Here is an outstanding strike and condition rarity whose offering in this sale represents an important bidding opportunity for advanced Standing Liberty quarter enthusiasts. Brilliant surfaces exhibit full mint luster in a softly frosted texture. Strike detail is exceptionally sharp, as one should expect given the FH designation from PCGS, and it most impressive at Liberty's head, the inner portion of the shield, and the eagle's breast. This Denver Mint quarter has eye appeal to spare.<p>The mintmarked issues from 1926 are among the rarest Standing Liberty quarters with Full Head strike detail. Both have fewer than 1% of their mintages sharply struck (per J. H. Cline, 2007), and both are typically offered with very poor definition that usually includes a completely flat head on Liberty's portrait. Precious few Denver Mint examples of the date can match the present Gem.
