Lot Description

1923 Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-65 FH (NGC). Brilliant apart from the lightest pale gold iridescence, this smooth and inviting Gem allow full appreciation of bright mint luster. As a Philadelphia Mint issue with a generous mintage of 9,716,000 pieces, the 1923 might be mistaken for a more readily obtainable early date Standing Liberty quarter when in the finest Mint State grades. This is incorrect, however, unless one is content to acquire a Gem with poor definition to Liberty's head and other elements of the design. In Full Head the 1923 is rare and underrated, especially with the superior surface preservation that characterizes the present example. Provenance: From the David Lorenzo Collection. NGC Census: 24; 25 finer in this category (MS-68 FH finest). PCGS# 5743. NGC ID: 243J. Click here for certification details from NGC.
