Subtly Toned Gem Full Head 1919-D Quarter

1919-D 25C MS65 Full Head NGC. The 1919-D Standing Liberty quarter is a well-known strike rarity. Jay Cline estimates that only 1% of the issue is struck with Full Head details. The present Gem shows the obligatory "three olive sprigs and an earhole," but the bold strike goes much further. All but a couple of shield rivets are present, and Liberty's face and hair are sculpturally detailed. Satiny golden-gray luster washes over both sides. There is essentially no sign of contact. The tops of the date numerals are a little weak, a design flaw that would be corrected later in the series. NGC has certified only six Gem Full Head pieces and just two finer (3/12).(Registry values: N4719)
