Lot Title: 1917 Type 2. and 1923 MS-64 FH..
Description: A pair of truly terrific Standing Liberty quarters are to be found in this lot, and both are tastefully toned, fully original pieces. 1917 type-2 is an incredibly frosty coin that has knockout full head details and a full complement of shield rivets blanketed beneath pearly-white surface patina. Each side is narrowly framed by album toning, the obverse offering vivid jade-green in addition to the cinnamon-gold seen on both sides. 1923 booms with luster and is actually even better struck than its companion. Liberty's head is absolutely all there, as are the shield rivets, and even the inner shield details are sharp. Wonderful album toning drapes across the obverse, while the reverse is beige-tan. Both coins easily grade MS-64 FH in this two coin lot.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $500.00

607The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$675.00
1917 Type 2. NGC MS-65.
Remarkable quality challenges even the expectations of a type-1 quarter, as this type-2 example shows exceedingly sharp details and much of the wonderful, satiny-matte texture that usually is seen...
667The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$525.00
1917 Type 2, and a 1930, both PCGS MS-64.
Like grade but wholly different brilliance marks the contrast between these two. The 1917 type-2 shows steam-grey patina over velvet-textured surfaces, while 1930 gleams with pure white brilliance...

1917 Type 2. NGC MS-67.
This is a memorable coin on multiple levels. First of all, the impossible level of screaming brilliance floods the eyes with blinding whiteness, setting a whole new definition of what constitutes...

1917 Type 2. PCGS MS-63FH.
It is remarkable that a coin with such a shallow strike could earn an "FH" designation, but we all know that strike designations often tell nothing about actual strike quality! It is true that...
645The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$200.00
1917 Type 2. PCGS AU-58FH.
Even upon close examination, a mint-state grade seems plausible for this lustrous piece, but persistent scrutiny may lead some observers to conclude that there is feathery rub on Liberty's head and...
502The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$900.00
1917 Type 2. NGC MS-65 FH.
This coin is an absolute rampaging beast. It has Full Head detail, dripping luster, bright white appeal, and zero distractions. It might someday sneak its way into an MS-66 holder.
