1916 Liberty Standing 25C NGC MS62 FH
<b>1916 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. NGC graded MS62 FH.</b> A lustrous, well struck example of Herman A. MacNeil&#39;s beautiful standing Liberty quarter that debuted in 1916. Well toned at the periphery with lighter but still exceedingly beautiful gray toning elsewhere. This coin has a fantastic look of originality. Only the Philadelphia Mint struck the new design since there was little time left in the year to prepare dies for the two branch mints; and even then, Philadelphia did not deliver its quota of the new quarters until December 16. Between that date and the end of the month, a total 52,000 pieces were struck. In a way, the 1916 issue is a one-year Type since the mint did a major touch-up to the design for the 1917 &#34;Type 1&#34; coinage. Place specimens of the 1916 and 1917 together and you can count the many ways the design was changed, primarily to strengthen the design such as Liberty&#39;s head, gown, shield, and the feathers on the eagle. A key coin for the specialist.
