1929-S 25C MS68+ Certification #57521026, PCGS #5776

CAC. Per cataloger, "The significance of this specific coin requires an understanding of just how rare Standing Liberty quarters are in MS68. Most issues in the series are not known finer than MS67+. PCGS reports grading events for a grand total of only 16 coins in MS68 or MS68+ across the entire series, Full Head and non-Full Head coins included (12/19). None are finer at that service. Moreover, CAC has placed a sticker on only four MS68 coins, including three non-Full Head pieces and one Full Head coin. These figures are for the entire series. This coin is the sole finest 1929-S quarter at PCGS, outranking even the finest Full Head coins at that service. It is also the only 1929-S quarter in MS68 with CAC endorsement. The importance of this coin for Registry collectors is simply incredible. The coin displays satiny mint luster that appears flawless even under magnification. Delicate pastel toning casts each side in lovely rainbow hues, and Liberty's hairline is nearly complete. A finer 1929-S quarter simply does not exist, and there are only a few other Standing Liberty quarters of any date or mint that compare with this piece in terms of quality. Population: 1 in 68, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 68, 0 finer (12/19)." Sold in GreatCollections Auction 9/22/19 as a PCGS/Gold CAC MS66 #7024585.
