详细说明

One of the absolute FINEST KNOWN examples of this classic 20th century rarity. Both sides are aglow with a bold satiny luster that gleams throughout the surfaces. SUPERB GEM quality surfaces show off a mellow dusting of clear champagne and subtle pewter tone brings out the sharpness of the details and are amplified by the brilliance of the mint luster. The strike is as fine as you will hope to encounter on a 1916 quarter. Only 52,000 examples were struck in December 1916, as part of the "Renaissance of American Coinage," a period from 1907 to 1921 when some of the nations greatest sculptural artists redesigned America's circulating coinage: from St. Gaudens' Indian and Liberty Striding Forward designs on the $10 and $20 gold coins, to Anthony DiFrancesi's Peace dollar design, every denomination underwent a makeover during this period, and are some of the most popular, endearing, and beautiful designs ever used on our coins. Herman MacNeil's Standing Liberty quarter design is a truly wonderful design, and this is an essentially perfect example for any collector to start his or her set with! PCGS 5, NGC 3. There is just a single coin graded finer, a 67+ FH that has not been sold in auction since 2010. The most recent PCGS MS67 FH sold in the 2015 FUN auction for $146,875. The record price for this grade is $149,500 for a coin sold in August 2010 and the 67+ FH sold in November that year for just shy of $200,000. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $165,000 and since these appear with such infrequency, it is very possible that that level will be exceeded by this AMAZING high grade example. A true 20th century trophy bound for one of the great collections of Standing quarters and the opportunity should not be missed! Cert. Number 85731761 PCGS # 5705
