Beautifully Toned
1927-S Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC.
Lovely toning in reddish-copper, powder blue, pale pink and pearl gray is seen on both sides of this appealing Gem. The colors are soft and iridescent, allowing full appreciation of smooth mint frost. Pleasingly bold in strike, most design elements are sharp.
With the second lowest mintage of any Standing Liberty quarter -- only the 1916 has a lower mintage -- the 396,000 pieces that were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1927 make this issue one of the classic rarities in its series. Little attention appears to have been paid to the 1927-S at the time of issue and as a consequence, the vast majority of examples entered circulation and remained in commerce until worn out or lost. Today it is estimated that about 95% of surviving specimens are no finer than Good-6. 1927-S quarters are especially difficult to locate in Mint State, and the acquisition of a premium Gem Mint State example such as this is a significant achievement.
Estimate: $15,000 - $18,000.
PCGS Population: 3; 6 finer in this category (MS-67+ finest).
PCGS# 5764. NGC ID: 243W.
