Lot Description

1923 Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-66 FH (PCGS). Billowy mint luster flows serenely over both sides of this frosty white beauty. Expertly produced with superior striking detail for the type, this silky smooth Gem would make a lovely addition to a high quality type or date set. 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 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 exceptional surface preservation that also characterizes the present example. PCGS Population: 37; 13 finer in this category (MS-67 FH finest). PCGS# 5743. NGC ID: 243J. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
