Dramatic and Rare 1919 Standing Liberty Quarter, Struck 50% Off Center

1919 MS Quarter--Struck 50% Off Center--XF45 PCGS. This is easily the most impressive Standing Liberty Quarter error that we have offered. Errors in this series are rare, and to find a coin this far off center is truly an important occasion for the specialist. The impression is off center just past 12 o'clock with the result that the date area is present. The devices are distended along the lower obverse border, but enough of the digits are discernible to identify the coin as a 1919. Furthermore, the mintmark area is clear, and if there were a mintmark present we believe that it would be easily recognizable. The surfaces are rather well preserved for the extent of wear with dove-gray toning that yields to champagne-gold undertones at direct angles. A pinscratch over the lower right obverse peripheral area is noted, but it is confined to the flan and does not interfere with those devices that are present. We are sure that a great many people will be following the bidding activity on this lot with great interest.
