Standing Liberty Quarter
1919-S Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-66 (NGC). CAC.
Here is a lustrous and overall sharply struck Gem enhanced by iridescent peripheral toning in champagne-pink. Just 1,836,000 pieces were produced and the 1919-S is a key date Standing Liberty quarter that is eagerly sought in all grades. Writing in the 2007 edition of the book Standing Liberty Quarters, J.H. Cline sums up the desirability of both the issue as a whole and high grade survivors such as that offered here: "This is one of the key dates. The top three grades have a very low population and even this low number may be inflated by as much as 20 percent from pieces that were broken out and resubmitted for one reason or another. Quite a few collectors are working on 'Registry Sets,' and it seems to me that any 1919-S would be a very worthwhile purchase." This exceptional premium Gem from the Larry H. Miller Collection should attract strong bids.
