1928-S Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-67 FH (NGC).
This 1928-S quarter offers an impressive strike and superlative condition for this challenging San Francisco Mint issue. Liberty's head is full, as the FH designation confirms, with the balance of the design elements ranging from bold to full. This is certainly an exceptional quality of strike for the issue, and it is enhanced by smooth and vibrant satin luster that further supports the assigned grade. Bright, brilliant, and simply a delight to behold. With no more than 5% of the original mintage believed to have been fully struck (per J.H. Cline, Standing Liberty Quarters, 2007), locating a 1928-S in any FH grade is a challenging task for the advanced collector. The present example is remarkable in all regards and seemingly earmarked for the finest SLQ set.
