Description
Splendid 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, VF30
1916 25C VF30 PCGS. Although the 52,000 1916 Standing Liberty quarters produced apparently slipped quietly into circulation shortly after New Year's in 1917, examples were apparently pulled from circulation for quite some time after--and, of course, some rolls were clearly set aside, probably more by the lucky than the educated. The design differences between the 1916s and later issues enable the first-year pieces to be distinguished, even when the date has completely worn away--an all-too-frequent problem, due to its position on an "exposed plaque unprotected by raised rim" (Breen Complete Encyclopedia).The present VF30 specimen shows much appeal, with light gray-rose centers blending to deeper color at the margins. The few contact marks seen are light and completely grade-consistent. A splendid, relatively affordable example for a midgrade circulated set.(Registry values: N2998)
