1907-D Barber Quarter. MS-66 (PCGS). Smoky silver-apricot patina is seen on both sides of this 1907-D quarter, with vivid undertones of champagne-apricot and some pale lilac iridescence. This coin is well produced with an overall sharp strike. It has been expertly preserved and displays softly frosted texture on both sides. The 1907-D is obtainable enough in lower Mint State grades through MS-64. As Q. David Bowers (2019) observes, however, "By all logic the 1907-D with its high mintage should be readily available in gem Mint State, but the reality is otherwise." Obviously this issue was saved in fewer numbers than the Denver Mints inaugural quarter delivery of 1906. As a solidly graded and attractive premium Gem the coin offered here represents an important bidding opportunity for the advanced collector.
