Choice $13800 Choice Original, Island City Collection.. The Island City collection of Standing Liberty quarters kicks off with this 1916 issue, the rarity of which is well-known even by collectors focused on other series. The Philadelphia Mint produced 52,000 pieces in this year, and this is the unquestioned series key, rivaled only by the 1918/7-S overdate. This piece exhibits light gold toning with bits of crust in the protected areas, including the obverse beading and reverse stars. The head is softly impressed, typical for the issue. CAC has approved 238 pieces and assigns a value of $13,200 in AU53. This piece is surprisingly advanced in the census, with only 20 pieces in Mint State reported by CAC. Housed in a PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) old green label holder with CAC approval. PCGS #5705.
