Description
1927-D Quarter, MS67 Full Head
Tied With One Other for Finest Certified
1927-D 25C MS67 Full Head NGC. Bold head definition and
radiant luster are the hallmarks of this lovely Superb Gem. Soft
hues of cherry, jade, and almond grace much of the obverse, while
the reverse exhibits a faint pastel tint. Bold design definition
appears over nearly all of both sides, with only Liberty's toes,
the bottom two stars, and shield rivets 3 and 4 showing any
measurable weakness. Distracting abrasions are absent, as expected
for the grade.Population Data (7/14): NGC reports only two in MS67 Full Head with none finer. None are finer than MS66 at PCGS.
Heritage Commentary: Of the three issues in the Standing Liberty quarter series with mintages below 1 million coins (the 1916, 1927-D, and 1927-S), the 1927-D is the most likely to be described as underrated in Gem Full Head grades. Its rarity at those levels is remarkably similar to that of the 1916, though it is not valued nearly as high. In the latest edition of his series reference, Jay Cline estimates only 3% of the 1927-D's 976,000-coin mintage was produced with Full Head detail, the same percentage estimate given to the 1916, which had a substantially lower mintage of only 52,000 pieces. The 1927-D, evidently, was not as well-saved as the 1916.(Registry values: N7079)
