Description
1916 Standing Liberty Quarter
Toned MS61 Full Head
1916 25C MS61 Full Head NGC. The modest MS61 numeric grade
of this Full Head 1916 Standing Liberty quarter may underserve the
coin's eye appeal and technical merits that exist above its
technical level of abrasions. Original olive-gold and russet patina
in the margins cedes to lighter champagne hues in the interiors,
and the uniformly satiny mint luster has an almost matte-like
appearance at certain angles. Liberty's head exhibits as much
detail as the 1916 design ever has, and the date numerals are bold.
The only notable contact marks appear lightly along the ridge of
Liberty's leg.The 1916 Standing Liberty quarter saw a series-low mintage of only 52,000 coins and is the heralded key date of the series. While many examples were saved at the time of issue, and Mint State coins are accessible with patience, eye appeal within a given grade is often difficult to acquire. The current coin presents exceptionally well for the MS61 level.
