1913-S Barber Quarter. AU Details--Cleaned (PCGS). This is a desirable high grade survivor of the key date 1913-S Barber quarter. Most design elements are sharply, if not fully rendered, and there are no sizeable marks to distract the eye. Muted beneath golden-gray retoning, the surfaces also reveal light hairlines to explain the PCGS qualifier. With only 40,000 pieces produced, the 1913-S has the lowest mintage among circulation strike quarters of this type. It is also one of the United States Mints lowest mintage 20th century silver coins of any type, giving survivors broad appeal that transcends specialists in Barber coinage. Offered here is a scarce AU survivor, a coin that is relatively affordable due to the assigned grade, but which retains a pleasing appearance and undeniable numismatic significance. From the Lincoln Square Collection.
