Standing Liberty Quarters 1916 25C MS64+ Full Head PCGS

Standing Liberty Quarters
1916 25C MS64+ Full Head PCGS. CAC. The inaugural 1916 Standing Liberty quarter is usually found weakly detailed, particularly on the obverse in the head and shield areas. The deficient sharpness is primarily due to the "mushy" nature of the 1916 dies, although strike quality is a measurable factor even on this issue. The low availability of Full Head 1916 Standing Liberty quarters drives strong competition among collectors of this popular series.
Those seeking a Gem 1916 should consider this lustrous, MS64+ representative. A borderline Gem, it has the luster and eye appeal suggestive of a higher grade. The strike is above average for the issue with strong details on both the figure of Liberty and the shield. Slight rounding on the eagle's breast retains some breast feather definition. The surfaces of this super-smooth quarter are sparkling and attractive, with no significant marks or distractions and a touch of golden luminescence at the rims.
