1923 PCGS MS-65. 1923 PCGS MS-65.
Lot Title: 1923 PCGS MS-65.
Description: The requirements for a full head designation include a distinct ear hole, three leaves fully outlined, and definite separation between the hairline and Liberty's forehead, and the present brilliant gem very nearly satisfies all these requirements. The reason why PCGS declined to assign the designation is undoubtedly twofold, including weakness at the outline of the sprigs, and the presence of a single, tiny vertical scrape that touches the earlobe. But for the astute collector who recognizes the rarity of a well struck 1923, this coin provides considerable improvement over the typically flat example, and the gleaming white mint luster only adds to the gem appeal.

474The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$450.00
1923 PCGS MS-65.
Brock Megran Collection. Uneven character for the strike shows as precise shield intricacies, yet there is a perceptible lack of full head features. Even the "1" and "2" in the date display minor...
610The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$1,150.00
1923 NGC MS-64 FH.
An exceptionally strong strike pulled up all of the details in Liberty's head, and managed to impart very nearly the full details in the shield as well, leading to a coin with marvelous, strong...
671The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$425.00
1923 PCGS MS-64.
Almost fully brilliant, traces of pastel gold may be just seen on the reverse. Evidently submitted with hopes for a full-head designation, the strike is rather sharp overall, but the three sprigs...
672The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$1,050.00
1923 PCGS MS-64FH.
Well struck, especially on the reverse where the rivets pop up off the shield in strong relief, while the eagle's breast shows a touch of weakness. Delicately layered in off-white patina and a light...
673The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$3,100.00
1923 PCGS MS-65FH.
A split-personality coin, blazing eggshell-white luster emanates from the mark-free obverse, while the reverse displays a fine layer of champagne-grey patina over nicely rendered details. Rivets on...
505The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$1,450.00
1923 PCGS MS-65 (ogh).
A full complement of boldly defined rivets on the shield instantly identifies this as a well struck coin. Turning attention to Liberty's' head finds that most of the details are present, except for...
666The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$550.00
1923 PCGS MS-66.
Scintillating luster spins fiercely about each side, energized by an emphatic strike that provided nearly full shield details and about an 80% full head. 1923 may be the most underrated Philadelphia...
464The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$875.00
1923 PCGS MS-66.
1923 is most likely an underrated date in very high grade for the Standing Liberty quarter set, as it does not always come that well struck. At hand is an extraordinarily brilliant and bright example...
560The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$650.00
1923 Standing Liberty quarter, NGC MS-66
NGC chose not to supply a "full head" qualifier for this gorgeous coin, but it falls only just shy of fulfilling the requirements. The ear hole is present along with fully delineated separation at...

1923 MS-63, 1925 MS-63 FH, and 1930 MS-64.
Three nicer Standing Liberty quarters are in this lot. The 1923 grades MS-63, and the 1925 grades MS-63 FH. Both are white coins. They are accompanied by a toned 1930 that grades MS-64 with nearly...

1923 PCGS MS-64.
Rich red-rose circles the peripheries on both side and covers much of the obverse surfaces. Somewhat subdued lusterwise, but every bit the MS-64 grade is was assigned.
