The opening bid is the minimum amount required to begin bidding, and is generally a percentage of the low estimate.

Bid Information

For your convenience, the bid information on this page automatically refreshes with the most up to date data so you don't have to refresh/reload this page.

Minimum Bid

Bid increments determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Normally, bids must be at least one bidding increment over the current bid. However, podium, fax, phone and mail bidders submit bids at various times without knowing the current bid and must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment. However, for Internet bids, these increments only apply to the current bid. Internet bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment.

Number of Bidders

This number represents the number of individual bidders prior to the close of Internet bidding on each lot. An individual who bids more than once is still counted only once. During the live session, only the winning bidder is included in this number, although detailed records are kept of all forms of bids.

Status

Reserve (If Any) Not Posted Yet:
Although many lots will not get reserves, this signifies that we have not yet posted any reserves to this entire auction. Reserves are usually posted approximately 3 days prior to the closing for Internet-only auctions, and approximately 7 days prior to the live session for Signature auctions.
Consignor Has Not Yet Submitted a Reserve:
Although the consignor's agreement allows a reserve on this lot, the deadline for submitting such a reserve has elapsed. If consignor submits a reserve post-deadline and the item fails to meet that reserve, we may charge the consignor a higher reserve fee.
No Reserve:
This lot is being sold without a reserve. (Note: By law, consignors may still bid under certain conditions, but they are responsible for paying the full Buyer's Premium and Seller's Commission if they do.)
Reserve Not Met:
A reserve has been posted on this lot, but no bids have met the reserve. The current bid has been set to the reserve amount, and the next bid will meet the reserve.
Reserve Met:
Reserves have been posted for this auction, and there is a reserve on this lot that has already been met.

Description
Outstanding 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, MS66 Full Head


1916 25C MS66 Full Head PCGS. For many years Miss Doris Doscher, better known to millions as Miss Liberty, claimed that she posed for the provocative, bare-breasted figure of Liberty on designer Hermon MacNeil's Standing Liberty quarter--a figure that, in the words of expert and author Jay Cline (whose contributions we gratefully cadge here), " ... sent women into shock, children giggling and pointing, and men taking a second look at the exposed bust on the newly designed quarter." Miss Doscher, whose stage name was Doris Doree, as she "did some acting on Broadway," was a "longtime friend and tennis partner" of the MacNeil family. Miss Doscher posed for other leading sculptors of the time, as well, and starred in several silent movies.
However, in 1972, one day after the death of her mother, the daughter of one Mrs. Irene MacDowell wrote to Mrs. MacNeil (Hermon's widow), saying that Mrs. MacDowell was, in fact, the model for the quarter. Mrs. MacDowell, age 92, intimated to her family and closest friends shortly before her death that she had posed for Hermon MacNeil, over a total of 10 days. Mrs. MacDowell had also been a former Broadway actress, and was the wife of a tennis partner of Hermon MacNeil. Since her husband would have disapproved of her posing for MacNeil, she concluded that sole credit should go to Doris Doscher. While it is entirely possible, even probable, that both women posed for MacNeil, given the strict standards of the era, such a decision is unsurprising.
This example of the premier Standing Liberty quarter certainly portrays Mmes. Doscher and/or MacDowell in the most flattering light. Both sides are enriched by light gray-gold patina, further enhanced on the obverse by daubs of russet, lilac, and smoke-gray. While the 1916 is always softly struck in the head and shield, this lovely Premium Gem boasts as bold a strike in those areas as is ever found, and elsewhere the strike is impeccable. Soft, satiny luster emanates from the nearly flawless surfaces. PCGS Population: 10 in 66 Full Head, 4 finer (7/08).
