- Superb Gem Full Head 1917-S Type II Quarter
1917-S Standing Liberty Quarter. Type II. MS-67 FH (PCGS). CAC.
This Superb Gem San Francisco quarter features exceptional striking quality and surface preservation for the issue. The detail is razor sharp to full throughout and is most impressive on Liberty's head, the inner shield, the surrounding rivets and, on the reverse, the eagle's breast. Bathed in softly frosted luster, The surfaces display softly frosted luster and wisps of attractive iridescent champagne-gold. This coin would be perfect for the finest Standing Liberty quarter set.
Despite having only a slightly lower mintage (5,552,000 vs. 6,224,400 coins), the 1917-S Type II is markedly scarcer with Full Head striking detail than its Denver Mint counterpart. J.H. Cline (2007) asserts that only 3% of the mintage emerged from the dies with enough detail to qualify as Full Head. Clearly this premium quality Superb Gem represents an important opportunity for advanced collectors specializing in this popular and challenging 20th century series.
Estimate: $20,000 - $25,000.
PCGS Population: 6; 5 finer in this category (MS-68 FH finest).
CAC Population: 2; 0.
