CAC; Ex: Just Having Fun. Per cataloger, "Historic Superb Gem MS-68+ 1919 Quarter of Exceptional Eye Appeal 1919 Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-68+ (PCGS). CAC. Secure Holder. Unbelievable eye appeal for a Standing Liberty quarter of any date, this glorious jewel has it all--dazzling luster, radiant pastel toning and diamond quality throughout. The centers display blazing mint luster with each device captured in the sea of creamy white-silver. Toned around the rims with delicate pastel hues which fade into golden-russet, which serve to frame the centers in an attractive manner. Scrolling over the surfaces with a strong loupe fails to find more than trivial signs of contact, and the fields and devices are virtually perfect, unheard of quality for this era and series. Obviously PCGS agreed and awarded this exact coin their highest grade of any Standing Liberty quarter of any date or mint they have certified, MS-68+. In a remarkable achievement, all three currently (11/2012) PCGS certified MS-68+ coins were included in the Just Having Fun collection. A prize that will astound any numismatist who takes the time to study its many charms." Purchased from Witter Coin, 1/11/2019.
CAC. Per cataloger, "Ex: J.H. Cline. Almost belying its mintage of more than 3.5 million pieces, the 1920-D Standing Liberty quarter is a better date in all grades and becomes a distinct rarity in Superb Gem condition where it is without a doubt underrated. PCGS and NGC list a combined five MS67 non-Full Head coins (three and two pieces, respectively) and none finer (11/15). The rate of auction appearances in this grade is comparably low. In more than two decades, we have offered an MS67 non-Full Head example on only four occasions, two of which were earlier appearances of this same coin. The last example garnered $10,575 in the Long Beach Signature sale (Heritage, 6/2015), lot 3931. Full Head Superb Gems appear at auction even less frequently. This piece represents a rare and important opportunity for the Standing Liberty quarter connoisseur. It is one of the most visually impressive examples the cataloger has examined, showing surfaces rich in frosty silver-gray luster with scattered freckles of russet color toward the peripheries. There is not a single bothersome bag mark, and the only area of mentionable strike weakness occurs on Liberty's head, which is about 50% complete. Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2002), lot 6649; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2003), lot 6757. From The Jay Cline Collection of Standing Liberty Quarters." Obtained from Heritage Auction 1/7/2016, Lot number 5011 graded PCGS MS67 #467757. Upgraded to PCGS MS67+. Pop 1/1 (12/23).
CAC. This coin was cataloged as a NGC #3519533-004 MS67 coin as follows, "The 1921 Standing Liberty quarter is one that is a conditional rarity even at the Gem level, and the present MS67 NGC example is the sole finest certified non-Full Head coin at either NGC or PCGS. PCGS has seen 18 submissions at the MS66 level but has never graded a Superb Gem. The present piece displays a bold strike over surfaces that are virtually immaculate. All of the shield rivets are bold, but there is insufficient detail on the head for a Full Head designation. Light tinges of pinkish-gold and ice-blue appear, but the coin presents as basically untoned. An incredible piece for a fine Registry Set. Census: 1 in 67, 0 finer (6/13)." The coin was crossed to PCGS/CAC MS67 and was obtained from LCR Coin Pop 1/0 (1/18). The coin was upgraded to PCGS/CAC MS67+ and is currently the finest known 1921 Pop 1/0 (12/23).
Per the cataloger, " Ex: J.H. Cline. The 1923-S Standing Liberty quarter is a condition rarity that is infrequently encountered in Superb Gem quality. Scintillating mint luster is accented by gold and iridescent toning at the borders of this delightful Superb Gem, and the frosty surfaces are virtually pristine. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 6 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer (1/16). From The Jay Cline Collection of Standing Liberty Quarters." Obtained from Heritage Auction 2/5/2016, Lot number 3897. PCGS Graded MS67. Upgraded to PCGS MS67+ Pop 1/0 (12/23)
CAC. per cataloger, "The year 1924 was the last before a design modification placed the date in a recessed panel to prevent the digits from wearing away in circulation. Some collectors consider the 1924 the last of the Type Two design and call those pieces from 1925 to 1930 Type Three. This issue is an extreme rarity in MS68, and the fact that so few dates in the series are even known this fine encourages strong collector demand from many different collecting pursuits. Peripheral crescents of deep gold and dark green toning accent the ice-blue centers of this magnificent Standing Liberty quarter, with pale lavender along the lower obverse border. The design elements are well-detailed but fall just short of Full Head definition. A single short mark is noted over the ER of QUARTER and will serve as a pedigree characteristic on otherwise flawless surfaces. Blazing mint luster adds to the tremendous eye appeal. Population: 2 in 68 (1 in 68+), 0 finer. CAC: 2 in 68, 0 finer (10/16). Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 10/2012), lot 3627. From The James Swan Collection of Standing Liberty Quarters. The #1 PCGS Major Varieties Registry Set of Full Head Standing Liberty Quarters." Sold in Central States (Heritage Auction, 4/2012), lot 4223, as NGC #583257-004 MS68. Crossed to PCGS/CAC #25393890 MS68. Sold at GreatCollections Auction 1/28/18, lot 532263. Obtained from GreatCollections Auction 3/10/2019, lot 678023. Upgraded to PCGS/CAC MS68+ Pop 2/0 (12/23).
CAC. Per cataloger, "Without a doubt, this Superb Gem stands above almost every other known survivor of the conditionally elusive 1926 quarter. PCGS has seen only three non-Full Head coins in MS67 and none finer; the finest non-Full Head pieces at NGC are two coins each in MS67 and MS68 (2/16). This lovely piece exhibits satiny golden and sky-blue luster with small hints of olive, amber, and russet around the extreme outer peripheries. The strike is above-average for a non-Full Head coin, and the preservation is excellent." Obtained from Heritage Auction 3/4/2016, Lot number 4879.
CAC. Per cataloger, "The significance of this specific coin requires an understanding of just how rare Standing Liberty quarters are in MS68. Most issues in the series are not known finer than MS67+. PCGS reports grading events for a grand total of only 16 coins in MS68 or MS68+ across the entire series, Full Head and non-Full Head coins included (12/19). None are finer at that service. Moreover, CAC has placed a sticker on only four MS68 coins, including three non-Full Head pieces and one Full Head coin. These figures are for the entire series. This coin is the sole finest 1929-S quarter at PCGS, outranking even the finest Full Head coins at that service. It is also the only 1929-S quarter in MS68 with CAC endorsement. The importance of this coin for Registry collectors is simply incredible. The coin displays satiny mint luster that appears flawless even under magnification. Delicate pastel toning casts each side in lovely rainbow hues, and Liberty's hairline is nearly complete. A finer 1929-S quarter simply does not exist, and there are only a few other Standing Liberty quarters of any date or mint that compare with this piece in terms of quality. Population: 1 in 68, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 68, 0 finer (12/19)." Sold in GreatCollections Auction 9/22/19 as a PCGS/Gold CAC MS66 #7024585. Obtained from Heritage Auction 1/9/20 as a PCGS/CAC MS68 #38022735. Upgraded to a PCGS MS68+ and recertified by CAC.
CAC. Per cataloger, "Rich amber and green-gold toning accents frosty mint luster on the obverse, while the reverse displays finely stippled russet toning over a faint golden hue. This high-end Superb Gem is well-struck with nearly full head detail. The preservation is practically perfect, and the visual appeal is exceptional. Population: 30 in 67 (3 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 19 in 67, 0 finer (9/19). Ex: New York Signature (Heritage, 2/2014), lot 3717; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2014), lot 3502; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2017), lot 3543." Obtained from Heritage Auction 12/5/19 as PCGS/CAC # MS67+. Upgraded to PCGS/CAC #42608717 MS68 Pop 3/0 (12/23).
