Lot Title: 1928-S MS-64, planchet defect.
Description: Numerous die cracks can be seen throughout the obverse: at the olive branch, the center of the shield, through "TY", around the date exergue, and in combination with various other spidery threads, provide compelling evidence of a die just on the cusp of shattering fully. Furthermore, what appears at first glance to be a gouge on the reverse proves to be a planchet flaw under magnification! In a series known for a dearth of varieties, this is certainly an example with plenty of action to offer bidders. Aside from the planchet flaw, powerfully struck details and terrific luster suggest an MS-64 grade.

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: $190.00
High Estimate: $280.00

865The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$425.00
1928-S PCGS MS-65.
A classic strike rarity in the series, 1928-S seldom appears well struck, and scoop heads are common, though this example runs counter to the norm. Although certainly short of meeting "full head"...
510The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$550.00
1928-S NGC MS-66.
Arresting, pure white satin brilliance practically leaps off the surfaces, glowing with blinding whiteness that would have been thought of as impossible in the days before thermonuclear fusion. Wow,...
350The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$575.00
1928-S NGC MS-66.
An astounding level of dazzling blizzard-white luster blazes off this amazing gem, nearly blinding bright in effect. It hardly seems possible that this much luster could be compressed down into an...
466The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$800.00
1928-S NGC MS-65.
Mint luster flickers from all over this strangely fascinating Standing Liberty quarter, housed in an embossed NGC holder. The surfaces have acquired a deep vanilla-beige color with multiple mottled...
540The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$390.00
1928-S PCGS MS-65.
This pristine quarter is encapsulated in an older green-label holder. Surfaces are covered in bright fresh luster with a hint of tone about the rims. The three sprigs, and most of the face, are...
515The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$260.00
1928-S NGC MS-64.
There is almost enough head detail to be considered Full Head, but not quite. The three sprigs are clear and present, but the absence of an ear hole does not allow for the Full Head designation. The...
