1926-D Standing Liberty Quarter. MS-66 FH (NGC). Here is an outstanding strike and condition rarity whose offering in this sale represents an important bidding opportunity for advanced Standing Liberty quarter enthusiasts. Brilliant surfaces exhibit full mint luster in a satin to softly frosted texture. The striking detail is exceptionally sharp, as one should expect given the FH designation from NGC, and it most impressive at Libertys head, the innermost rivets on the shield, and the eagles breast. This Denver Mint quarter has eye appeal to spare.<p>The mintmarked issues from 1926 are among the rarest Standing Liberty quarters with Full Head striking detail. Both have fewer than 1% of their mintages sharply struck (per J. H. Cline, 2007), and both are typically offered with very poor definition that usually includes a completely flat head on Libertys portrait. Precious few Denver Mint examples of the date can match the present Gem. From the Larry H. Miller Collection. From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
