1919-S Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-67 (NGC). CMQ. A lovely lustrous example of the 1919-S quarter. This piece has about 80% or more Full Head, and all the shield rivets are visible - yielding a finer strike than many Standing Liberty quarters that are certified Full Head. Moreover, on the reverse the feathers on the breast of the eagle are all distinctly separated. In brief, this is a very nice strike for 1919-S. We suggest that prospective bidders factor this when entering competition, for it is truly impressive. Beyond that, the value of the pedigree to the Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection needs to be added, hard to measure, but yielding a cachet unmatched by few other pedigrees.<p>Just 1,836,000 pieces were produced and the 1919-S is a key date Standing Liberty quarter that is eagerly sought in all grades. Writing in the 2007 edition of the book <em>Standing Liberty Quarters</em>, J.H. Cline sums up the desirability of both the issue as a whole and high grade survivors such as that offered here:<p><em>This is one of the key dates. The top three grades have a very low population and even this low number may be inflated by as much as 20 percent from pieces that were broken out and resubmitted for one reason or another. Quite a few collectors are working on Registry Sets, and it seems to me that any 1919-S would be a very worthwhile purchase.</em><p>This exceptional Superb Gem should attract strong bids. PCGS# 5732. NGC ID: 243D. Combined PCGS and NGC Population: 5; 0 graded higher in either category. From our (Bowers and Merenas) sale of the Louis E.
