PCGS PR65. 229 1861 Very Choice Brilliant Proof VERY CH BR PF $1,700.00 A second example of this limited Proof mintage with about 400 pieces released.

Barber Quarters Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 233 1893, 1901 CH AU $200.00 Choice About Uncirculated. The first coin was polished, the second is largely lustrous with tobacco-gold at the rims. 2 pieces. 234 1895'O' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $875.00 Splendid glowing silver lustre ushers in great visual appeal, notably increased by the coin's rich peripheral gold that enlivens the boldly defined rims. 235 1900 CH AU $175.00 Choice About Uncirculated, on the cusp of Mint State. Silver-white fields and devices show a barely measurable rubbing on the highest points. NGC AU58. 236 1902 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $300.00 A few light marks over iridescent blue and gold toning. Well struck with some lustre peaking out though the toning. 237 1915 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $140.00 - and virtually Choice.

Standing Liberty Quarters Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 239 1917 Type I. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $190.00 Splendid Full Head and Shield, a faint mark or two can be searched out in the smooth and subtly lustrous fields. 240 1917 Type I. CH AU $400.00 Choice About Uncirculated, Full Head; 1918'S' Brilliant Uncirculated or nearly so; 1929 Choice About Uncirculated.

Richly toned yet boldly reflective with steel and rose-gold toning, the reverse displaying wider areas of frosty silver to show this short-lived first type at its colorful best. NGC MS66FH. 242 1917'S' Type I. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $310.00 This frosty pale silver gray coin was well struck. An appealing example of this two-year type. 243 1917'D' Type II. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $650.00 - and essentially Gem. Magnificent lustre joins a bold strike. Only a short field scratch over Liberty's left shoulder keeps this coin from an uncontested higher grade. 244 1918/7'S' CH F $3,300.00 Choice Fine. This fascinating coin has seen its share of problem-free circulation, but the bold overdate remains clearly visible. Here is a highly collectible example of an important latter-day overdate, created in the throes of the First World War and eagerly sought-after in the years since that conflict. PCGS F15. 245 1919'D' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $950.00 Here is a thoroughly satisfying, boldly lustrous example of this low-mintage post-World War I date, a smoothly appealing key to this difficult series. The sharp down-turn in the nation's economy apparently assured that this date was not saved in meaningful quantity. 246 1919'S' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $600.00 An attractive example of this scarce date. This virtual full head coin reveals splendid detail including complete leg and most shield detail. A light cleaning hardly detracts from this otherwise stunning Quarter. 247 1920'S' Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $4,300.00 - on the cusp of fully Superb. Immaculate satin silver fields highlight the meticulous devices with their bold cartwheel flash. This dazzling example shows Hermon MacNeil's Standing Liberty design at its near-finest and must be one of the highest grade pieces surviving of this San Francisco date, struck in the difficult months of the post-World War I Depression. PCGS MS66. 248 1923'S' AU $1,100.00 About Uncirculated. Ever so slight contact is limited to this coin's highest points. At least half of the head is fully distinct. Most of the shield and right thigh are intact. A small reverse line is noted. A past gentle cleaning is barely apparent. Page 1 of 2  •  First  Previous  Next  Last  • Goto Page
