1909-S 25C MS66 Certification #18319572, PCGS #5656

CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

Mintage: 1,348,000; Weight: 6.25 grams; Composition: .900 silver, .100 copper; Diameter: 24.3 mm; Reeded Edge; Designer: Charles E. Barber ===== Purchased from David Lawrence Rare Coins – June 2009. Although the 1909-S Barber Quarter has a relatively low mintage, it is not nearly as difficult to find as the New Orleans example. That said, the coin is a tough coin to find in gem condition or better. Unlike the famous San Francisco cents of 1909, the 1909-S Barber Quarter was obviously not saved in quantity. The present example is a beautiful coin that shows great looking cartwheel luster. The coin also exhibits the slightest bit of toning around the rims. Only a couple of coins exist of this date in higher grade. This example was originally purchased in an old green-label holder.
