About this coin
Pop's Change Exchange is pleased to offer this high-detail, incredibly flashy 1909-S Barber Quarter. For collectors building high-end raw albums or seeking massive eye appeal without breaking the bank on certified plastic, this turn-of-the-century San Francisco survivor is an outstanding opportunity.
Technical Surface & Features:
-
The Design Strike: The details on this coin are phenomenal. The obverse features a fully struck, sharp crown with every single letter of "LIBERTY" standing out crisp and clear. The laurel wreath outlines show almost no high-point friction. On the reverse, the heraldic eagle's shield, arrows, and olive branches are impeccably defined, punctuated by a bold, clear "S" mint mark.
-
Luster & Surfaces: When rotated under a light source, this coin boasts an outstanding, vibrant cartwheel luster that immediately catches the eye. The surfaces show some light, old horizontal micro-lines under close magnification, typical of an old-time cleaning or wiping that has since beautifully re-mellowed and toned back over with highly attractive original skin.
An incredible "slider" specimen that looks, flashes, and fills a hole like a thousand-dollar coin for a fraction of the cost.
