- 1917-S Standing Liberty Quarter. Type II. MS-64 FH (PCGS). Splashed with mottled charcoal and reddish-russet patina on the obverse, the reverse is brilliant apart from subtle reddish-gold highlights that are boldest around the periphery. Lustrous and softly frosted throughout with an exceptionally sharp strike that even extends to Liberty's head, the inner shield and the eagle's breast. 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 richly original near-Gem represents a significant opportunity for advanced collectors specializing in this popular and challenging 20th century series. Provenance: From the Francesca Collection. PCGS# 5719. NGC ID: 2436. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
