1927-D Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-66 FH (PCGS).Dramatically frosty and largely brilliant, with tinges of olive and bronze accenting the border on each side. Nicely defined for the issue and free from notable blemishes. The 1927-D Standing Liberty quarter is a significant challenge to specialists of the series. With a mintage of just 976,000 pieces, it boasts the third lowest mintage of the entire series after the rare 1916 and the 1927-S. While it is scarce with full detail to Libertys head, it is extremely rare when other elements like the rivets on the shield, the date, and the eagle are considered for sharpness; and true connoisseurs will appreciate this attention to detail. PCGS lists only 18 coins certified at the present grade and just 3 finer through MS-67 FH. The population of more weakly struck examples also tops out with a single coin at MS-67, emphasizing how limited the availability of this issue remains in higher grades.From the Anne Kate Collection.
