1924-S Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC.A breathtakingly beautiful example that is overall fully struck with emerging to bold detail to Libertys head. Both sides are lustrous and vividly toned in a blend of handsome steel gray, silver-rose, powder blue and reddish-gold patina. A mintage of 2,860,000 pieces was sufficient to make the 1924-S a relatively obtainable issue in circulated grades by pre-1925 Standing Liberty quarter standards. This is one of the scarcer issues of the type in Mint State grades, however, and with less than 2% of the mintage qualifying as Full Head (per J.H. Cline, Standing Liberty Quarters, 2007), the 1924-S is also a major strike rarity. This is one of the sharper non-FH examples that we have handled in recent memory. Given its exceptionally well preserved surfaces and awe-inspiring toning, its desirability for the advanced specialist is undeniable. It is tied at the very top of the PCGS Population Report with none finer.
