1919-D Quarter, MS65+ Full Head
Rare This Sharp

1919-D 25C MS65+ Full Head PCGS. The Denver Mint's struggle to produce consistently sharp strikes on Standing Liberty quarters in 1918, seemed to only grow the following year. The 1919-D, in addition to being a series semikey overall, is the second-rarest Denver issue in the series in Full Head grades. Only the legendary strike rarity, the 1926-D, is seen less often with a Full Head designation.

In Full Head, the 1919-D is most often encountered in MS62 to MS64 grades, and the present Plus-graded Gem is a significant rarity. The strike is superb for the issue, showing adequate head detail in addition to sharp stars and far above-average definition on the shield lines and rivets. The luster is vibrant with a warm sun-gold glow over each side, and there are no bothersome abrasions. A bold die crack on the reverse extends from the rim at 2 o'clock to the tip of the eagle's wing. Population: 9 in 65 (1 in 65+) Full Head, 6 finer (7/15).(Registry values: N4719)
