Attractive VG8 1901-S Quarter

1901-S 25C VG8 PCGS. The 1901-S is the key to the Barber quarter series, though its 72,664 piece mintage falls behind the 1913-S, with only 40,000 coins struck. However, as Paul Gilkes notes in a January 8, 2001 Coin World article titled "1901-S Quarter Opens the Door to the Series," demand for the '01-S far outstrips supply, that is mostly in the About Good or Good/AG condition.
Natural light to medium gray patina is slightly deeper in hue on the reverse of this VG8 example. Liberty's jawline and ear are clear, and the L and Y of LIBERTY show, as does the top of the T. On the reverse, the shield is mostly separated from the eagle's body, and the letters URIBU and UN are visible. The rims are full on both sides, with some of the dentils showing. No significant marks are noted. This piece will be a comfortable fit for a low to mid-grade collection.(Registry values: N2998)
