Key Date 1913-S Quarter Rarity Desirable Choice Mint State 1913-S Barber Quarter. MS-64 (PCGS). Gold Shield Holder. Offered is a boldly toned and attractive near-Gem representative of the fabled 1913-S Barber quarter. Blended pearl and pinkish-gray patina dominates both sides with some blushes of warmer charcoal-gray at and near the borders. The texture is satiny in texture and the strike is sharp in virtually all areas. The 1913-S with a mintage of 40,000 pieces is one in a trio of key date rarities in the Barber quarter series of 1892 to 1916, with the other two being the 1896-S and 1901-S. By the second decade of the 20th century numismatics and the desirability of mintmarked coins had advanced to the point where contemporary collectors were paying closer attention to the coinage of our nation's branch mints. While more Uncirculated examples of the 1913-S were set aside at the time of issue than for either the 1896-S or 1901-S, such coins are still rare in the wider context of the Barber series. This is an important bidding opportunity for advanced Barber quarter enthusiasts. PCGS# 5666. NGC ID: 23ZW. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
