Description

1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, MS66
Elusive High-End Full Head Example

1916 25C MS66 Full Head NGC. The obverse design of the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter was weakly engraved. Softness is especially noticed on the shield, Liberty's head, and the stars flanking Liberty's legs. The indistinct detailing was corrected on the 1917 hubs, but the Mint Director's request for sharpening of the obverse came too late for the changes to be made to the 1916 hubs. Today, the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter is sought-after with Full Head detail, and such coins are rarely seen in MS66, with just a few known finer (8/20). This Premium Gem displays satiny mint luster cast in dusky champagne-tan toning, with daubs of russet near the borders. There are no distracting abrasions. Liberty's head shows delineated hair strands across the high point of the temple and cheek bone -- the necessity of a Full Head designation on this issue. On the reverse, slight strike weakness is seen on the leading edge of the eagle's left (facing) wing. Census: 23 in 66 Full Head, 4 finer (8/20).(Registry values: N7079)
