Captivating 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, AU58 Full Head

1916 25C AU58 Full Head PCGS. Though past authors have dealt with the change from the Type One Standing Liberty quarters as a design controversy relating to the obverse, extensive research by Roger W. Burdette has turned up no contemporary sources that allude to any complaints on the matter. One real design quibble of the time, however, centered around the flying eagle's legs, with a number of self-proclaimed experts commenting on their trailing position. Gradually, as Burdette reports in his 2005 work Renaissance of American Coinage 1916-1921, the trivial nature of the argument caused it to fade.
While this key-date 1916 Standing Liberty quarter shows a touch of highpoint friction, the figure of Liberty retains enough detail to qualify for Full Head status. The still-lustrous surfaces show even silver-gray patina with occasional golden tints. Excellent visual appeal for the issue and considerably more affordable than a Mint State representative.(Registry values: N2998)
