Description
Brilliant MS62+ 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter
First Year of the New Design
1916 25C MS62+ NGC. It is one of the many ironies of the
Standing Liberty quarter series that there are no proofs generally
available to collectors of any issue within the series. (A couple
of proofs dated 1916 and 1917 are claimed in Breen.) The series
debuted in late 1916-early 1917 after the Mint had discontinued
proof coinage. The Mint would resume proof coin manufacture only in
1936, six years after the end of the Standing Liberty series.
Collectors must acquire a nice business strike 1916 to represent
the first-year issue, either in Mint State or a nice high-grade
circulated piece. This is a sharply struck example (except on the
head of Liberty) that would be a worthy substitute in an otherwise
proof type set. The surfaces display pronounced mattelike
granularity and bright, sparkling satiny mint luster. Brilliant
throughout.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 242Y, PCGS# 5704, GSID# 5533)
