<B>1927-S 25C AU58 Full Head NGC.</B></I> With the second-lowest mintage among Standing Liberty quarters, it is unsurprising that the 1927-S is a premium issue in all grades. The 1927-S is not just popular for its low production, however; between a typically poor strike that yielded comparatively few well-defined pieces, a low population of Mint State survivors resulting from low interest in saving examples of the year's coinage, and only gradual awareness of the issue's true importance, the result is fervent demand for the few high-end examples on the market today.<BR> While not Mint State, this delightful piece offers exceptional visual appeal. Aside from a touch of friction on Liberty's legs and the eagle's breast, the surfaces are largely unaffected by the brief time this coin spent in circulation, and the gold-kissed silver surfaces retain most of their original luster. The devices display above-average definition for the issue overall, and the head shows three olive leaves, a line separating the hair from the brow, and a tiny indentation at the ear. An interesting alternative to the elusive Full Head Mint State 1927-S and its substantially higher cost. Census: 3 in 58 Full Head, 16 finer (3/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Hermon A.
