Description

1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, MS64
Toned Full Head Example
Seldom Offered With CAC Approval

1916 25C MS64 Full Head NGC. CAC. The 1916 Standing Liberty quarter has long been the most sought-after date in the series. Only 52,000 pieces were struck, and these were distributed into circulation in early January 1917 alongside the first of the 1917-dated coins. As collectors became aware of the 1916's scarcity, bank rolls were searched for the elusive date. As early as late 1917, prominent dealers of the period listed Mint State examples of the 1916 for sale at a premium of four times face value. As time went on, collectors searched circulation for lost examples of the date, which occasionally turned up as late as the 1940s.

Today, the 1916 commands a strong premium over other dates in the series in all grades, and Full Head Mint State pieces are especially sought after. This near-Gem example is satiny and well struck for the date, showing russet and amber-gold toning over each side. No major abrasions are seen, and the coin easily earns CAC approval in this grade. CAC: 25 in 64, 23 finer (10/20).(Registry values: N4719)
