1920-S Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-65 FH (NGC).
Originally toned and visually appealing, with mottled reddish-russet peripheral highlights to otherwise antique golden surfaces. The complexion is lustrous and softly frosted, and even magnification fails to reveal troublesome blemishes. Among the finest certified of the issue and ranked just a single point below the top coins seen by NGC. With a relatively modest mintage of 6.3 million coins, the 1920-S is one of the key dates to the series and a difficult issue to find with the Full Head designation. Most examples show varying degrees of die clashing around the central devices and evidence of lapping or polishing as is seen on the present piece. A handsome and enticing example for the specialist, and surely destined for an advanced Standing Liberty set.
PCGS# 5739. NGC ID: 243G.
NGC Census: 12; 4 finer in this category (MS-66 FH finest).

Estimate: $12000
