1917-S. Type 2
.
PCGS graded MS-66+ PQ.
CAC
APPROVED.
Otherwise brilliant snow-white surfaces, the
obverse displays a small amount of golden-russet color. An
impressive strike, although Liberty's head is just short of a "Full"
designation, and a condition rarity at this high level. This is a
coin that would grace any Standing Liberty quarter collection.
Pop 1; none finer at PCGS.

NGC graded MS-67 Full Head
. An outstanding
example of this post-World War I quarter with a mintage
that exceeded 27.6 million pieces. This example boasts
absolute Full Head detail on Liberty, satiny silver-white sur-
faces with vibrant luster and a bold strike throughout. That
powerful impression goes beyond the clear full head to
include complete articulation on all of the rivets on the
shield. For future identification, a single virtually invisible
contact mark is located on the eagle's rear wing. Bold clash
marks in the field near Liberty's shoulder are transference
from the star and claws of the eagle. This piece is one of
only four so certified at NGC, there are none finer.
Pop 4;
none finer at NGC. Tied for the finest graded by both
services.
Estimated Value ...................................... $9,000 - 10,000

1921
.
PCGS graded MS-67
. Phenomenal quality and eye
appeal for any date, but for a 1921 Standing Liberty, this is
simply incredible quality. The strike is sharp, but not quite
full as this one is barely missing a Full Head designation. In
fact, we have seen examples with similar (or even less)
detail receiving the coveted FH designation. All of the finer
definition of the shield, drapery, toes and even the feathers
is as crisp as one could hope to find. Both sides are essen-
tially untoned, save for several small splotches of golden
color on the reverse. Both 1s in the date are shaped like
capital I's with broad width in their stature and surmounted
by thinner yet tasteful serifs, resembling Greek columns.
This style and numbering punch is unique to this particular
issue and date in the Standing Liberty quarter series. Scru-
tiny of the surfaces finds all is in perfect harmony, with no
mentionable handling marks or distracting specks or nicks
to impair the majesty of the satin smooth luster. This repre-
sents the single finest certified by PCGS without the Full
Head designation, and a prize worthy of the most advanced
collection.
Pop 1; none finer at both services.

1924-D
.
NGC graded MS-67
. Modestly toned surfaces, espe-
cially the reverse, with great luster and eye appeal. The strike is
typical with minor weakness on Liberty's head and most of the
usual areas that are seldom seen sharp. Trace softness shows
on the three most challenged shield bosses, but after all this is
a 1924-D, not one of the more sharply struck later issues. Even
under high magnification this coin has great eye appeal, surface
characteristics, and everything else desired. NGC Renaissance
