1928-S Standing Liberty Quarter. Large S. MS-67 FH (PCGS). CAC. This vividly toned and aesthetically pleasing Superb Gem is splashed with iridescent reddish-copper, blue-gray, olive and golden-rose peripheral toning that is far more extensive on the obverse. The surfaces are fully frosted and very nice for the assigned grade. Sharply struck overall, especially at Libertys head, there is much to recommend this beautiful coin to Standing Liberty quarter enthusiasts.More available in Mint State than a mintage of 2,644,000 pieces might imply, the 1928-S was obviously saved in significant numbers at the time of issue. However, most survivors are poorly struck and lack definition to Libertys head and shield elements. The present piece is a significant exception, with exceptional preservation and sharpness. The toning sets this premium quality coin apart from the vast majority of Uncirculated 1928-S quarters. From Heritages Long Beach Signature Coin Auction of September 2009, lot 684.
