Lot Description

Outstanding Key Date 1921 Quarter 1921 Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-66 FH (PCGS). CAC. Here is a splendid high quality survivor from this eagerly sought, low mintage Standing Liberty quarter issue. Frosty surfaces are adorned with vivid peripheral toning in reddish-gold, olive and powder blue around delicate pinkish-silver centers. An exacting strike and expert preservation are just right for the MS-66 FH grade from PCGS. With a mintage of 1,916,000 pieces, the 1921 has long been regarded as a key date issue in this series. Attractive Mint State survivors in any grade are challenging to acquire. Only 5% of the mintage has Full Head definition (per J.H. Cline, 2007), and the opportunity to acquire a sharply struck Gem usually comes along only once in a very long while. The present coin represents an important opportunity for Standing Liberty quarter collectors. Estimate: $2,500 - $3,500. Provenance: From Heritage's FUN Signature Coin Auction of January 2007, lot 940. PCGS Population: 24; 6 finer in this category (MS-67 FH finest). PCGS# 5741. NGC ID: 243H.
