Description
Lightly Toned 1916 Quarter, MS60
1916 25C MS60 ANACS. According to the 1917 Mint Report, the Standing Liberty quarter design symbolized "the awakening interest of the country to its own protection," with Liberty "stepping forward to the gateway of the country." The first year of issue 1916 exhibits weak design definition, as it was struck by dies that were highly polished to remove accumulated rust (J.H. Cline, Standing Liberty Quarters).This MS60 specimen, while revealing some localized weakness, displays a somewhat better-than-average strike, including relatively strong delineation on the horizontal shield lines, rivets, toes of both feet, date, and eagle's plumage. A thin layer of light gold-tan patina shows lavender and ice-blue accents over soft luster. Both sides are quite well preserved.(Registry values: N2998)
