1926 Quarter, MS66 Full Head
Rarely Encountered Finer

1926 25C MS66 Full Head PCGS. CAC. This exceptionally well-preserved example exhibits a remarkably bold Full Head, with sharp definition also seen on the other features of both sides. Light, parallel ribbons of champagne and deeper gold stretch across each side, more prominent on the reverse, complementing vibrant underlying mint luster.

Population Data (5/14): PCGS has certified 39 Full Head examples in MS66 (5 in 66+), with a mere two finer, while NGC has seen just 19 pieces in this grade (1 in 66+), with four finer.

Heritage Commentary: The 1926 quarter, strangely, often comes as poorly struck as many branch mint issues. Examples awarded a Full Head designation by the grading services are much scarcer than those of most other post-1924 issues, and many such pieces still show minor weakness at Liberty's temple. This beautiful Premium Gem is a refreshing exception to the rule, and will draw strong attention from the Standing Liberty quarter specialist.
