Superb Gem Full Head 1919-S Quarter 1919-S Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-67 FH (PCGS). An essentially white coin with a strike that is far sharper than usually encountered, with depth to Liberty's head and all the shield bosses sharp and fully defined. Delicate golden-russet toning highlights the rims, with a few flecks of deeper blue and crimson at the extreme edges. The figure of Liberty sports the usual textured luster of this year, with her dress and figure nearly perfectly preserved. For identification purposes only we mention a tiny nick on Liberty's outstretched arm and a minor russet toning spot connecting the ends of the two leading feathers on the eagle's left wing. Boldly clashed dies, as commonly seen on 1919-S quarters, with simply outstanding eye appeal. Perhaps one in five survivors from the original mintage of the 1919-S quarter exhibits Full Head definition, as the San Francisco Mint was not known for full strikes in this era. Hence boldly struck examples are eagerly desired and when coupled with superb Gem surfaces and bountiful luster, as here, the combination simply cannot be topped. Certainly among the finest known for this date and mintmark combination and the only example graded by PCGS at the MS-67 FH level. Numismatic Reflections by Q.
