1920-S Quarter, MS65+ Full Head
Elusive So Well Struck
Obverse Die Gouge

1920-S 25C MS65+ Full Head PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The 1920-S is one of the lesser known strike rarities of the Standing Liberty quarter series, a date that gets less publicity than the likes of the 1918/7-S, 1927-S, or 1926-D, but which is nonetheless rare enough in Gem Full Head condition to be categorized as a "stopper" for the Registry collector. This Plus-designated piece displays attractive satiny luster and largely brilliant surfaces, save for flecks of amber toning in the peripheries. There are no major abrasions. Liberty's head is well defined, and the shield rivets show above average definition. On the reverse, the border stars are boldly rendered. A heavy, linear die gouge appears on the obverse, piercing the upper part of the olive branch. Finer Full Head 1920-S quarters will be out of reach for most collectors. Population: 20 in 65 (3 in 65+) Full Head, 9 finer (7/21).(Registry values: N4719)
