Owner's Comments

CAC Approved A moderately scare and very underrated date. Many times more rare , than a 1907 , as an example yet in the past usually priced about the same when available. That has changed now since people are discovering it’s standing amongst the other Liberty Quarter Eagles. Finally values are catching up to where they justifiably should be .

A moderately scarce and very underrated date. Many times more rare, for example, than a 1907, and yet usually priced about the same when available.
