Lot Description

1916 Standing Liberty Quarter. AU-58 FH (NGC). Lowest-mintage date in the series at just 52,000 pieces produced, and an issue that saw appreciable circulation, the 1916 is the rarest Standing Liberty Quarter in terms of total number of coins believed extant. A delightful near-Mint survivor that has much to offer the advanced numismatist, this piece is brilliant with a bright, silver-white sheen. Considerable luster remains, as does sharp definition from a well-executed strike. A problem-free AU-58 FH that is destined to serve as an integral part of a cherished collection.
