Lot Description

1924-D Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-65 FH (NGC). CAC. Very full striking detail joins with smooth, frosty luster to define this condition rarity 1924-D quarter. Both sides are brilliant apart from subtle champagne-gold peripheral highlights. An underrated issue in the finest Mint State grades, the 1924-D is one of the more overlooked issues in the middle portion of the Standing Liberty quarter series. J. H. Cline (2007) opines that less than 5% of the original mintage displays Full Head definition as issued, and our experience suggests that even non-FH examples are very scarce-to-rare at the Gem Mint State grade level. Another significant bidding opportunity from the fabulous Larry H. Miller cabinet. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 29; 13 finer in this category (MS-67 FH finest). PCGS# 5749. NGC ID: 243M. Click here for certification details from NGC.
