1919 Standing Liberty Quarter, MS68
An Incredible Condition Rarity, CAC

1919 25C MS68 PCGS. CAC. The Philadelphia coin boasts the highest mintage of the three 1919-dated Standing Liberty quarters (more than 11 million coins), and it is proportionately more plentiful overall. Among pre-1925 Type Two issues, this date is one of the most often seen at auction, and it is occasionally available in high grade for the patient student of the series. However, this does not make the date common, nor does it erase the reality that in Superb Gem condition the 1919 Standing Liberty quarter remains a formidable acquisition. Its availability in the context of the 1917-1924 Type Two era ultimately amounts to one chief point: the 1919 Philadelphia quarter can be collected in condition as fine as MS68, while so many other issues cannot.

This piece is one of just four non-Full Head MS68 coins at PCGS (two of which are Plus designated), with none finer. It is joined in the non-Full Head Condition Census by a lone MS68 coin at NGC, where a single MS69 non-Full Head piece is finer (10/23). The luster is full and vibrant, with a swirling, softly frosty sheen. Both sides are peripherally toned in vivid, original orange-red hues. With nary a distracting bagmark, and a strike that is sharp except on a few isolated highpoints, this coin would grace the finest collection with its presence. Certified in a green label holder with the coveted CAC green label. Population: 4 in 68 (2 in 68+), 0 finer. CAC: 4 in 68, 0 finer (10/23).(Registry values: N2998)
