1920-S Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-65 FH (PCGS).One of the key dates to the series and a difficult issue to find with the Full Head designation. Primarily brilliant, light golden undertones are visible on both sides as well as light russet on the reverse. Creamy satin luster spanning both sides and close examination finds no disturbances that warrant attention, not from handling or improper storage, and without question this is one of the finest seen of the date. It is a point of fact that most of these coins show varying degrees of die clashing in the fields, evidence of where the dies came together without a planchet to strike, thus imparting portions of their designs into the opposing die. This common occurrence during the coinage process diminished die life, often required coinage to halt so the dies could be lapped or filed down lightly in order to remove these stray signs of clashing. The lapping process always removes part of the field of the die and actually reduces the depth of the devices in the die. A handsome and enticing example for the specialist, and a coin that will be well received by many eager bidders.From the Anne Kate Collection.
