Lot Description

Superb Gem Full Head 1924 Quarter 1924 Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-67 FH (PCGS). CAC. OGH--First Generation. A simply outstanding example of the type and issue, this beautiful 1924 quarter is dusted with light pearl gray and champagne-gold iridescence. Mint frost blankets both sides, and the surfaces are as nice as would be expected for the assigned grade. The strike is very sharp, as well, with Liberty's head and the eagle's breast bold and the detail to Liberty's shield is nearly full. This is the final Philadelphia Mint Standing Liberty quarter of the Pedestal Date style, and it is also one of the more available due to a generous mintage of 10,920,000 pieces. When it has the exceptional quality and eye appeal offered here the 1924 is rare, and we expect strong competition for this coin among Standing Liberty quarter enthusiasts. PCGS Population: 15; 4 finer in this category (MS-68+ FH finest). PCGS# 5747. NGC ID: 243L. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
