Gem Full Head 1926-D Quarter The Chicagoland-Malibu-Pogue Specimen 1926-D Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-66 FH (PCGS). Remarkably, this is the third time that your cataloger (JLA) has had the privilege of handling this 1926-D quarter, a coin that is a significant condition rarity due to its overall excellent quality. Indeed, we see no detracting abrasions, and the bit of light granularity on the reverse is an as-made feature that is indicative of a worn die. The detail on that side softens a bit here and there at the border, again due to the worn die, but the balance of the features on both sides are sharply to fully struck. Lightly toned about the rims, and essentially brilliant in the centers, this coin numbers among the highlights among the Standing Liberty quarters in the Pogue Collection. The mintmarked issues from 1926 are among the rarest Standing Liberty quarters with Full Head striking detail. Both have fewer than 1% of their mintages sharply struck (per J. H. Cline, 2007), and both are typically offered with very poor definition that usually includes a completely flat head on Liberty's portrait. Precious few Denver Mint examples can match the present Gem. Estimate: $40,000 - $50,000. Provenance: From Heritage's Long Beach Sale of September 1998, lot 6732; Heritage's sale of the Chicagoland Collection, January 2003 FUN Signature Sale, lot 6918; our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the Malibu Collection of Standing Liberty Quarters, November 2010 Baltimore Auction, lot 1772.
