Description

1928 Quarter, MS67 Full Head
Conditionally Rare

1928 25C MS67 Full Head NGC. While the 1928 is among the most common and available issues in the Standing Liberty quarter series, Superb Gems with Full Heads, such as the specimen in the present lot, are prohibitively rare. Indeed, NGC and PCGS have graded only 15 such coins and two finer. A veneer of light golden-tan patination cascades over the radiantly lustrous surfaces that have been well cared for. The solid strike transcends the Full Head to include crispness on the chain mail and rivets. This piece exudes superb overall eye appeal. Census: 12 in 67 (2 in 67 ) Full Head, 2 finer (10/13).
Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.(Registry values: N2998)

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
