1913-S 25C MS65 NGC
<B>1913-S 25C MS65 NGC.</B></I> The low-mintage 1913-S quarter (40,000 pieces) is one of the three keys to the Barber quarter series (the other two being the 1896-S and 1901-S). Each one of these issues is found most often in heavily circulated grades, with anything above Fine proving elusive. This is what makes the current MS65 offering so special! As indicated in the Census figures below, there are not many Gem-quality coins around.<BR> Both sides are awash in pleasing luster, and display soft golden-orange and blue-gray patina. A solid strike leaves sharp definition on the design elements, the sole exception being the usual softness on the arrow feathers. The few minor marks visible under magnification possibly preclude an even higher grade. Census: 6 in 65, 9 finer (1/08).<BR><I>Ex: Farish Baldenhofer Collection (Stack's, 11/1955), lot 562.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Charles E.
