1916 Standing Liberty Quarter
MS65 Full Head
Low-Mintage, First-Year Key

1916 25C MS65 Full Head PCGS. Herman MacNeil's beautiful Standing Liberty design for the quarter was produced for the first time in 1916. Unfortunately, it was difficult to adapt the classical design to the requirements of high-speed modern coinage and production, originally scheduled to begin in July of 1916, was delayed until December. As a result, only 52,000 examples were struck at the Philadelphia Mint before the end of the year. The low mintage makes the 1916 a sought-after key to the series and its first year of design status adds to its cachet with collectors.

This delightful Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements, with Full Head definition and just a touch of the usual softness on the shield rivets. The well-preserved surfaces are lustrous and appealing, with subtle highlights of golden-tan and lavender toning. PCGS Population: 94 in 65 (7 in 65+), 35 finer (9/25).
