Not Sold Description
Originally Toned MS66 1916 Quarter With Full Head Definition
1916 25C MS66 Full Head NGC. Seemingly everything conspired to make the 1916 quarter one of the premier rarities in 20th century American numismatics. It was the first year of issue for a new design by an accomplished sculptor, it had a very low mintage, and was not saved in significant numbers as the public's attention was focused on possible American involvement the European conflict. This is one of the finest examples known of this rarity, and it is almost perfectly preserved. Thick mint luster covers each side and the surfaces display deep, speckled, multicolored toning of unquestionable originality with significant underlying mint brilliance on the obverse. An exceptional, high grade 1916 quarter. Population: 16 in 66, 2 finer (7/04). (#5705) (Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 242Y, PCGS# 5705, GSID# 5534)
