1915
.
PCGS graded MS-66
. A fully lustrous, virtually untoned
Gem example that most will find extremely appealing. The
obverse is snow-white and well defined with just a couple of
microscopic marks, the reverse is lightly toned and appears per-
haps a grade finer. A lovely high-end survivor from the penulti-
mate year of the Barber design.

1916
.
PCGS graded MS-64 Full Head PQ
. The premier
issue in the Standing Liberty quarter series, the 1916 was
produced with a comparatively small mintage of just 52,000
pieces. It is thought these were struck as early as March
1916, but none were released to the public until January
1917. Survivors in all grades have long been coveted in
numismatic circles, and even well-worn pieces seldom
remain on the open market for long. In Mint State, the
1916 Standing Liberty quarter is a mainstay of advanced
numismatic holdings, as well as a highlight of any high-
quality collection built around this challenging 20th century
silver series.
This is a uniformly lustrous near-Gem with sharp-to-full
striking detail in all areas of the design, including the
important head detail of Miss Liberty (modeled by Dora
Doscher). Satiny in sheen, with light, natural toning in
golden-russet hues on each side. Even close inspection
reveals few abrasions even for the MS-64 numeric grade. A
highly collectible example of this conditionally scarce first
year issue. Housed in an Old Green Holder.
Pop 125; 100
