Description

1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, MS63
Popular First-Year Issue

1916 25C MS63 NGC. Whenever this issue crosses the auction block, heavy competition is expected. The transitional-year 1916 Standing Liberty quarter is pursued by collectors because of a low mintage of just 52,000 pieces and its rich history, including the supposed scandal that accompanied a partially nude depiction of Liberty (a scandal that may have only existed on the pages of Breen's Encyclopedia). This example has satiny, silver-gray surfaces that are clean and display light tan patina. The obverse displays the usual engraving softness on the shield and stars, but showcases better-than-average (though not entirely full) head definition. The luster is a bit muted, especially on the reverse, but the overall appeal is considerable.
