1914-S 25C MS66 Certification #10922577, PCGS #5669

CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

A monster '14-S, previously graded MS67 by NGC. This coin hammered at $17000 in the January 2006 Heritage FUN Signature Sale (Lot 2407). It had previously appeared in a Stack's sale, catalogued as follows: "1914'S' Superb Gem Brilliant Uncirculated. This unblushing silver-white ultra-Gem is certainly the finest San Francisco Quarter of this historic date known today, fully lustrous and wonderfully free of marks of any description. One of 264,000 struck, a minuscule mintage compared to the larger productions that were so typical of the Barber series. This is the finer of two coins rated MS67 by NGC; no Quarter of this date has been certified higher than MS-67 by either NGC or PCGS, reinforcing this glittering coin's ranking in the world of highest-quality examples."
