1913-S NGC MS-64. 1913-S NGC MS-64.
Lot Title: 1913-S NGC MS-64.
Description: A 1913-S quarter in any grade is a prize for the collector, but this spectacular coin is as brilliant as the day it was struck, and features a level of surprising prooflike reflectivity in the obverse fields, while the reverse is normally brilliant and frosty. Many collectors forget that the 1913-S actually has a significantly lower mintage than the 1901-S, though the former coin survived use at an even lower rate. In fact, 40,000 is the lowest mintage of any 20th century regular issue silver coin. A nicely struck coin that displays minor weakness at the third and eleventh stars.
Low Estimate: $20,000.00
High Estimate: $23,000.00

460The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$975.00
1913-S PCGS GD-4.
Campania Estate. One might be tempted to call the actual grade G-3.75, because the obverse rims just barely misses absolute completion along the obverse far left, and the reverse displays trivial...

1913-S PCGS VG-8.
Brock Megran Collection. Mintage: 40,000. LIBERTY just barely displays the requisite equivalent of three letters, and nearly half of the motto can be seen on the reverse, which leads to the PCGS...

1913-S NGC VG-8.
Brock Megran Collection. Mintage: 40,000. A bit more than three letters of LIBERTY can be discerned on the headband, and about half of E PLURIBUS UNUM remains as well, ensuring a top-notch VG-8...
602The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$950.00
1913-S ANACS GD-4.
If the "G-5" grade ever came into vogue, it would be defined by this "one letter in LIBERTY" example. The obverse rim features trivial weakness on the far left, with similar weakness at far right...
656The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$1,600.00
1913-S NGC VG-8.
Wine And Dine Collection. NGC states "Dr. Ruby Collection" as provenance for this key Barber quarter. Liberty's headband includes perhaps right at three-plus letters, while the reverse motto, as...
657The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$1,850.00
1913-S PCGS VG-8.
Strictly original, the surfaces display classic dove-grey patina and charcoal accents, arranged just perfectly for a VG coin. "L" and "Y" show clearly, with 3/4 of the reverse motto displayed...
534The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,300.00
1913-S PCGS GD-6.
Conservatively graded, since the equivalent of three letters is formed on the headband by parts of LI...TY. The reverse motto is nearly half visible as well, though the obverse left rim is admittedly...
535The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$2,100.00
1913-S PCGS VG-10.
The equivalent of precisely three letters may be seen in LIBERTY, where L...Y shows, accompanied by pieces of "I" and "T". The reverse motto is nearly complete, and both rims are entirely present. ...
638The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$825.00
1913-S About Good.
The obverse is drop-dead perfect at AG-3+, but the reverse leaves room for discussion. There, the rims are rather heavily merged into some peripheral lettering, but more importantly, a pair of...
397The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$3,400.00
1913-S PCGS VG-10.
From a strictly technical standpoint, LIBERTY is fully readable on the headband, and collectors with even just basic knowledge know that this is usually sufficient to warrant a grade of Fine, assuming...
495The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$1,450.00
1913-S PCGS GD-6.
If G-7 every became a universally recognized grade, this 1913-S would set the perfect example of such a hairsplitting assessment, since 2.5 letters can be discerned in LIBERTY on the headband. Both...
390The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$650.00
1913-S PCGS AG-3.
The PCGS grade of AG-3 seems a bit of a stretch, since the obverse rim not only overcomes all of the obverse stars and part if IGWT, but it touches the date as well, while a full third of the reverse...
329The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$960.00
1913-S About Good.
Strictly original and showing just honest wear, the obverse very nearly has a full rim, and the reverse rim is merged over about 2/3 of its perimeter. Surprisingly, Liberty's eye and ear still show...
330The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$1,300.00
1913-S ANACS GD-4.
Two thirds of the obverse rims is separated from the margins, and about half the reverse is so separated, though it is surprising that part of the reverse motto is still readable. 100% original and...
657The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$1,100.00
1913-S About Good.
Granular surfaces on the reverse are coated with a recoloring substance, though the devices and lettering are glossy. About five percent of the reverse rim is merged into the lettering.
640The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$1,200.00
1913-S ANACS GD-4.
Rims are nearly complete on each side, lacking a hint of definition on the obverse left side and reverse bottom. The date and mintmark are very strong, however. Considering the amount of wear, this...
641The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$1,600.00
1913-S PCGS GD-6.
L and "Y' are both readable on the headband, and central portrait details suggest a fully VG grade, but the reverse rim is weak on the right side, so PCGS chose the conservative route in grading this...
536The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$1,550.00
1913-S VG-8.
The mintage of 40,000 for this year represents the lowest production date for this series. An always in demand date, no matter what the grade assigned, for the specialist of this type. Its pleasing...
