1923 25C, FH MS (PCGS#5743)

The March 2013 Baltimore Auction

详细说明: 1923 Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-67 FH (PCGS). Secure Holder. Radiant mint luster is seen throughout and the coin is essentially white save for a pearlescent blush of golden-gray hues in areas. The strike is bold enough on the three leaves of Liberty's crown to earn the coveted Full Head designation from PCGS. Notice the shield as well, which is also sharper than usually seen on these early date quarters. Exceptional luster too, with no signs of diminishing flash when examined under a light, and the full impact of the mint brilliance is memorable. The surface quality on this Gem is second to none. This is one of the two finest certified by PCGS, with none seen finer. <br /> <br /> In history 1923 witnessed the full blown crisis in Germany as their currency collapsed in a heap of paper, after heavily inflating the amount of paper money in circulation and experiencing the temporary booms and mini busts of the prior few years, burdened with the onerous reparations from the world war. In November 1923 the prices were moving so fast chalk boards had to be used in grocery stores to keep up with the rapid depreciation of the currency. Rational minds soon appeared, and life continued under a more steady hand. In the meantime in America, the recession of 1921 and 1922 was rapidly becoming history and prosperity was at hand. In Florida a land boom caused great excitement and multiplying of real estate values.
