PCGS Number: 5769 Coin Date: 1928-D Denomination (Short): 25c Denomination (Long): 25 Cents Desg: MS Mint Mark: D Composition: 90% silver; 10% copper Mintage: 1,627,600 Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Standing Liberty quarter Coinage Years: 1917-1930 Mint Location: Denver 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 1928-D Standing Liberty Quarter is a common type coin that comes weakly struck; but, with a Full Head this same coin becomes very rare. Scarce as low as MS61 and MS62. The scarcity starts jumping up significantly from MS63 through MS65. This issue with a Full Head is an extreme rarity in high-end gem condition from MS66 up through MS67 at which point barely any even exist.
