- Beautiful and Rare Superb Gem 1925 Quarter
1925 Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-67 FH (PCGS). CAC.
The frosty surfaces of this smooth and appealing Superb Gem support delicate champagne-pink iridescence, razor sharp striking detail and a virtually pristine appearance. It is sure to see spirited bidding competition among advanced Standing Liberty quarter enthusiasts.
As 1925 began, the Philadelphia Mint again adjusted the design of these quarters. The dates were placed too high on early dies by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, and thus the digits could wear away long before the coin was worn out. By 1924 this had come to the attention of mint officials by 1924, when coins were returned to the Mint with this specific problem. The design was changed to recess the date deeper into the die surface so the digits would not easily wear away. Coinage of this revised design commenced with 12,280,000 1925 quarters struck for circulation at the Philadelphia Mint. The branch mints strike quarters this year, for reasons unknown. The present example is one of the finest certified by PCGS and a condition rarity par excellence from the Pogue Collection.
Estimate: $5,000 - $7,000.
