1924 Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-66 FH (PCGS). Iridescent pinkish-bronze toning is seen on the serene surfaces on both sides of this frosty and attractive Gem. The striking detail is razor sharp throughout. The 1924 is the final Philadelphia Mint issue in the early portion of the Standing Liberty quarter series. The later portion of this series, commencing in 1925 and continuing through the end of the design type in 1930, is characterized by a recessed date introduced by the Mint to improve the durability of this critical feature during circulation. With a mintage of 10,920,000 coins. Mint State survivors are plentiful enough by the standards of the type, but only through MS-65. The 1924 is scarce in MS-66, and rare when a Full Head designation accompanies that grade, as here. From Heritages Long Beach Signature Auction of September 2009, lot 670.
