<B>1916 25C AU53 PCGS.</B></I> This is an attractive example of the always popular 1916 Standing Liberty quarter, an issue famous among 20th century silver coinage for its low mintage. This is the first year of the new Standing Liberty design created by Hermon MacNeil, who was not a member of the Mint engraving staff. These coins, along with the Mercury dime and Walking Liberty half dollar, continued the redesign of American coinage that began with the Saint-Gaudens double eagle, and the Indian Head gold designs. In 1890, a law was passed making a change in design unlawful until 25 years passed, thus 1916 was the first year that the Barber coinage designs could lawfully be changed. The Mint struck 52,000 Standing Liberty quarters during this first year, all produced during the last two weeks of the year. Light wear is evident on the highpoints, combined with a typical strike. This is a splendid example with considerable mint frost and desirable toning. The obverse has splashes of peripheral gold color, and the reverse has much golden-brown toning with hints of iridescence.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
