Description

1926-D Quarter, MS65 Full Head
Undeniably Sharp Head Detail

1926-D 25C MS65 Full Head NGC. The 1926-D is one of the most famous "flat heads" in the Standing Liberty quarter series, rivaled only by the 1927-S and 1918/7-S in general recognition as a strike rarity. The typical coin has a dished head, missing shield rivets, flat stars adjacent to the date, and flat right-hand reverse border stars. Most of these characteristics are seen on nearly every example of the date, even most coins designated Full Head. In fact, it is easier to find a Full Head 1926-D than it is to find a coin with well-defined reverse border stars.

The present Gem excels in Full Head sharpness, lacking nothing in that aspect. The shield rivets are weak, but the shield itself is better brought up than usual. The bottom obverse stars and reverse border stars are predictably weak. Light, even golden-champagne and light amber toning graces each side, complementing a lack of significant abrasions. Luster is original. Population: 5 in 65, 2 finer (6/05).
