- Intense frosty surfaces are well preserved and a delight to behold. Otherwise brilliant, both sides are peripherally toned in light golden-red iridescence. The definition is bold over most features and the coin offers premium Choice Mint State quality.<p>With the second lowest mintage of any Standing Liberty quarter - only the 1916 has a lower mintage - the 396,000 coins that were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1927 have become a classic rarity in the U.S. series. Contemporary numismatists paid very little attention to this issue and, as a consequence, the vast majority entered circulation and remained there until worn out or lost. Today it is estimated that some 95% of all surviving specimens are in grades of Good-6 and lower. Conditionally scarce even in mid-level circulated grades, 1927-S quarters are especially challenging to locate in Mint State. The acquisition of this lovely MS-64 example would be a significant achievement for any Standing Liberty quarter enthusiast.
