1927-S Standing Liberty Quarter. AU-50 (PCGS).A beautiful and original example painted in lavender and golden-olive hues with traces of darker patina peppered throughout. Slightly soft at Libertys shield, as is typical, but otherwise sharp. Considerable luster remains in the protected areas and speaks to the overall exceptional preservation at this grade level. A key date in all grades -- its mintage of 396,000 pieces is the second-lowest regular-issue tally of the design type.
