Description
Near-Gem 1926-S Quarter, MS64 Full Head
1926-S 25C MS64 Full Head PCGS. The '26-S quarter is one of the great "strike rarities" in the numismatic field, common enough in flatly struck Mint State quality, but extremely rare with any degree of strike and nearly impossible to locate with full head details. J.H. Cline explains: "The 1926-S is like all S mints in the twenties. San Francisco had many problems striking any coins up to par with the other minting facilities." Cline continued: "A much underrated coin, if not THE underrated coin of the entire series, except for the 1920-S and 1926-D in Full Head. This piece is fully brilliant and highly lustrous with no evidence of toning on either side. A few of the shield rivets are flat and the eagle's body lacks detail, but all other design elements are fully defined. Population: 21 in 64 FH, 22 finer (3/07).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 243T, PCGS# 5759, GSID# 5594)
