- Impressive Gem Key Date 1913-S Barber Quarter
1913-S Barber Quarter. MS-65 (NGC). CAC.
Here is a remarkable second Gem Mint State 1913-S quarter from the Larry H. Miller Collection, this key date chosen by the consignor to represent the Barber design in his type set. It was an excellent choice, for with razor sharp striking detail and silky smooth surfaces the viewer is able to fully appreciate all aspects of Charles E. Barber's design. Delicate champagne-gold iridescence mingles with satin to softly frosted luster adding to the appeal of this beautiful coin.
An issue that needs no introduction among specialists in Barber coinage, the 1913-S has the lowest mintage in the circulation strike quarter series with just 40,000 pieces produced. Examples are eagerly sought throughout the numismatic grading scale, from heavily worn Fair and AG, to Gem and Superb Gem Mint State. Of course, coins in the latter category are far rarer than those in the former, and only the most advanced collectors will have the honor of owning a high quality survivor such as the Miller specimen offered here.
Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
NGC Census: 4; 11 finer (MS-67+ finest).
PCGS# 5666. NGC ID: 23ZW.
