Entry Details
PCGS Number: 5758 Coin Date: 1926-S Denomination (Short): 25c Denomination (Long): 25 Cents Desg: MS Mint Mark: S Composition: 90% silver; 10% copper Mintage: 2,700,000 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): 0.2009 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 1926-S is a much better date among the San Francisco minted Standing Liberty Quarters. Collectible as low as the XF grade range. Scarce as a low-end Mint State coin and gradually increases in value into gem condition. Rare as a gem, especially past MS66. Anything finer than that is very rare as just a handful exist graded that high. Striking can be an issue for this date.
