详细说明

An outstanding 1916 Standing Liberty quarter. Truly one of the absolute FINEST KNOWN examples of this classic 20th century rarity. Not only is this coin of exceptional technical quality, but the visual allure is AMAZING as well! Both sides are aglow with a bold satiny luster that gleams throughout the surfaces. SUPERB quality surfaces show off a mellow dusting of clear champagne and subtle pewter tone bringing out the sharpness of the details. Both the definition of the devices and the subtle toning are amplified by the vivid brilliance of the mint luster. The strike is as fine as you will ever hope to encounter on a 1916 quarter. Only 52,000 examples were struck in December 1916 as part of the "Renaissance of American Coinage". The period from 1907 to 1921 saw some of the nations greatest sculptural artists redesign 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. These are some of the most popular, endearing, and beautiful designs ever used on our coins. Herman MacNeil's Standing Liberty quarter design is truly wonderful, and this is an essentially perfect example for any collector to start his or her set! 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 our May 2018 Regency Auction for $152,750. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $175,000 and since these appear with such infrequency, it is very possible that that level will be exceeded by this AMAZING high grade example. The single finest MS67+ FH sold in November 2010 for nearly $200,000! A true 20th century trophy bound for one of the great collections of Standing quarters and the opportunity should not be missed!
