Entry Details
PCGS Number: 511568 Coin Date: 1920-S Denomination (Short): 25c Denomination (Long): 25 Cents Variety: Clashed Dies Variety 2: FS-401 Desg: MS Mint Mark: S Composition: 90% silver; 10% copper Mintage: 6,380,000 Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Standing Liberty quarter Coinage Years: 1917-1930 Mint Location: San Francisco Diameter: 24.3 Fineness: 0.9 Weight (Grams): 6.25 Weight (Ounces): 0.1808 Designer: Herman A. MacNeil Edge: Reeded Obverse Description: MacNeil's Liberty stands with one hand holding an olive branch, the other bearing a shield. A ribbon connects the branch to the shield. The world LIBERTY appears across the top periphery and the date is centered at the bottom. 13 stars appear to the side of Liberty. Mint mark, if any, is positioned above the date to the left of Liberty. Reverse Description: An eagle in full flight, facing right, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above the great raptor. Stars flank the left and right peripheries with the words QUARTER DOLLAR at the bottom. General Notes: The 1920-S is a much better date among the San Francisco minted Standing Liberty Quarters. Collectible as low as the XF grade range. Scarce as an AU coin and gradually increases in value into Mint State condition. Rare as a gem, especially past MS65. Anything finer than that is very rare as just a handful exist graded that high. Striking can be a minor issue for this date.
