	25C	1911-S	AU58	PCGS 38189050	Choice	$650	New November 19! Choice Original, Island City Collection.. The 1911 San Francisco date sports a mintage of slightly under one million pieces. In recognition of the heavy circulation of small denomination coinage during the Great Depression, few survived choice. PCGS has only certified 19 examples at the AU58 grade level while the CAC approved total is a scant four pieces. That is s a miniscule fraction of the mintage.

Strike is complete with entirely unabraded surfaces. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. Ex. Twin Lakes Collection and previously sold by GFRC during March 2020.

This CAC-approved example exhibits light golden toning on both sides with hints of rose here and there. A few ticks are present, most notably in the right obverse field near stars 7 and 8. CAC certification is elusive for this issue with just 9 pieces in AU58 and 25 Mint State coins so recognized. Housed in a PCGS Gen 1.2 (1986-1989) rattler holder with CAC approval.

The 1896, 1901, and 1913 San Francisco issues are well-known as the keys to the Barber quarter set, with the 1913-S placed firmly in the middle of the group in terms of rarity. The present coin is near-perfect for the grade, with smooth surfaces and even color. High points exhibit coin-grey patina while the fields and recessed points reveal deeper slate shades. The figure of Liberty is neatly outlined, and the overall eye appeal is strong for a VG example. CAC has approved 269 pieces total, of which 194 examples are at VG8 or less. For the most part, Barber quarters were either quickly saved or quickly spent, with the result that CAC has not certified even a single piece in the EF or AU range.

GFRC images for this lovely 1915-D Barber quarter are a tad on the darker side. Rather, placing this coin under a bright light releases silky frosted luster along with lighter champagne-gold coloration. The cartwheels are vibrant and pleasing.

Emerald and sea-green patina fills both sides of this Philadelphia piece, along with crusty bits scattered on both sides. The survival of higher-grade business strikes of this era was somewhat a matter of chance, as most collectors of the period preferred to assemble runs of proof examples, which were sold by the Mint for a minimal markup. Conversely, the Mint today views the annual proof set as an opportunity to extract increasing sums from the collecting public. GFRC humbly suggests that classic coins such as the present example might represent a better collecting value. CAC notes 47 pieces in all grades, with a price guide value of $515 in AU55.
