1920-S Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-65 (PCGS). OGH.

One of the key dates to the series and a difficult issue to find with the Full Head designation. Primarily brilliant, traces of light golden overtones are visible on both sides. Creamy satin luster spans both sides and close examination finds no disturbances that warrant attention, not from handling or improper storage. Without question this is one of the finest we've seen of the date. It is a point of fact that most of these coins show varying degrees of die clashing in the fields, evidence of where the dies came together without a planchet to strike, thus imparting portions of their designs into the opposing die. This common occurrence during the coinage process diminished die life, often required coinage to halt so the dies could be lapped or filed down lightly in order to remove these stray signs of clashing. The lapping process always removes part of the field of the die and actually reduces the depth of the devices in the die. A handsome and enticing example for the specialist, and a coin that will be well received by many eager bidders.
