By this time, it was too late to ship the 1916-dated dies to the branch mints or to strike a reasonable number of quarters. Perhaps without realizing it, the Mint created a rarity which would later find much demand from collectors.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>-----</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>The single finest known example of the 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter has been graded by PCGS as MS-67+ FH. This narrowly exceeds the grade of five examples graded by PCGS and four examples graded by NGC as MS-67 FH (without the plus).&nbsp; Across the two services, there are approximately 40 coins graded MS-66 FH, followed by approximately 140 coins graded MS-65 FH. There are additionally about 60 examples in grades ranging from MS-65 to MS-67 without the “FH” designation. As always, these figures may be influenced by resubmissions motivated by the large price differences that can exist between grades.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Eye-appeal is very important when determining the value of 1916 Standing Liberty Quarters. Original toned examples usually sell for a premium. The “FH” or “Full Head” designation, indicating a specimen with fully struck details of Liberty’s hair and face, also drives a significant premium. The highest price paid for a coin of this issue was for an example graded PCGS MS-67 FH with CAC verification, which sold for $195,500 at auction in 2010. Other auction results for NGC coins in the same grade include prices of $97,750 in 2006 and $74,750 in 2007. The highest price realized for a certified example without the Full Head designation was for an NGC MS-67 piece which sold for $40,250 in 2006.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Because of the low mintage and high demand for this issue, even heavily circulated examples sell for at least a few thousand dollars, with price levels increasing sharply for moderately circulated coins. Many of the lower grade coins will only have a partial date, with some coins only having part of the digit “6” visible.</i></p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
