Elusive 1909-S Barber Quarter, MS67

1909-S 25C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Duckor. This is the first MS67 PCGS example of the issue that we have offered since the beginning of our Permanent Auction Archives in 1993. As such, it is one of the most important opportunities in this sale. The 1909-S is a surprisingly scarce issue that is underrated in Mint State grades. The Duckor specimen is finer than the Norweb and Emery-Nichols coins, both examples obtained directly from the Mint in 1909. It is also finer than the Eliasberg coin that was graded MS66. As one of just two PCGS certified MS67 submissions, this piece may be the finest existing 1909-S Barber quarter.
This highly lustrous Superb Gem has frosty silver luster and mostly untoned surfaces. Each side has a frame of gold, blue, and iridescent toning that hugs the border. The sharp strike is finer than usual for the 1909-S quarter, a situation hardly unusual in the Duckor Collection. Nearly every coin in the collection is sharply defined. Population: 2 in 67, none finer (6/09).
