1901-S 25C VF25 PCGS
<B>1901-S 25C VF25 PCGS.</B></I> Unlike other twentieth century rarities such as the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter or the 1909-S VDB cent, the 1901-S quarter was not recognized as such at the time of issue, and entered heavily into circulation. Bill Cregan writes in the summer 1990 Journal of the Barber Coin Collectors' Society: "As one dealer once aptly commented, 'There is a condition void between About Good and Uncirculated that you could drive a truck through.' "<BR> The condition void alluded to above is extremely evident at the Very Fine level. PCGS and NGC have seen fewer than 20 pieces in all VF grades, and a number of these are likely resubmissions or crossovers. The present VF25 offering is thus a marvelous opportunity for the Barber quarter collector seeking a mid-grade 1901-S.<BR> Natural light to medium gray toning covers both sides. The design elements display sharp detail, including clarity in the letters of LIBERTY, though the lower legs of the R are a tad weak. Likewise, E PLURIBUS UNUM is strong, save for softness in the diagonals of the M. A few stray marks that are consistent with a coin having seen light to moderate circulation are visible on the central devices. A nice piece for the grade designation.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Charles E.
