1919-D Quarter, MS65 Full Head
Important Strike Rarity

1919-D 25C MS65 Full Head PCGS. The bold strike of this high-end Gem transcends the sharp Full Head and shows remarkably strong definition as well on the chain mail, gown lines, stars, and eagle's feathers. The shield is uncharacteristically sharp, with the vertical lines virtually complete and even rivets 3 and 4 partially defined. The date numerals are in low relief but are clear. Near-unabraded surfaces display softly frosted luster complementing faint silver-gray and light golden hues.

Population Data (5/14): PCGS has certified nine examples in MS65 Full Head with six numerically finer. NGC has seen six in this grade with two numerically finer.

Heritage Commentary: The 1919-D Standing Liberty quarter is an important strike rarity, as J.H. Cline estimates that only 1% of the entire mintage was struck with Full Head detail. Furthermore, the 1919-D is even more poorly struck than its San Francisco counterpart. The typical 1919-D piece exhibits noticeable weakness on the shield rivets, the chain mail, the gown lines, and the eagle's breast feathers. Any Full Head example also showing sharp definition in these areas is a rarity, regardless of grade.
