1923-S Quarter, MS66+ Full Head
Rarely Seen This Fine

1923-S 25C MS66+ Full Head PCGS. The 1923-S is one of the secondary keys in the Standing Liberty quarter series. It commands a steep premium over higher-mintage, more plentiful dates in circulated grades, but Mint State examples are not as scarce as those of the 1918/7-S or the 1927-S. In Mint State, the 1923-S is usually accessible, albeit for a price. Nonetheless, at the Premium Gem Full Head grade level, this San Francisco issue is elusive, and it is rare that a Plus-graded coin or a finer example appears at auction. This MS66+ Full Head representative displays original satin luster, pearl-white across the interiors with golden-russet border toning. Liberty's head detail is sharp, and the shield rivets show above-average definition, although the recesses of Liberty's gown are made shallow by die lapping, with vertical striations evident beneath a loupe. Magnification also reveals faint grazes on the high points of Liberty's knee, breast, and the shield, apparently all that prevent a Superb Gem grade from PCGS. Population: 38 in 66 (6 in 66+) Full Head, 10 finer (11/19).(Registry values: N2998)
