Aside from the legendary 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, the 1927-S has the lowest mintage with just 396,000 coins produced. Collectible in even the poorest of grades. True scarcity begins in just the AU range. From AU to Mint State the value increases gradually up to the gem level which is considered to be very rare. Anything beyond MS66 is an extreme rarity.

Obverse Description

MacNeil's Liberty stands with one hand holding an olive branch, the other bearing a shield. A ribbon connects the branch to the shield. The world LIBERTY appears across the top periphery and the date is centered at the bottom. 13 stars appear to the side of Liberty. Mint mark, if any, is positioned above the date to the left of Liberty.

Reverse Description

An eagle in full flight, facing right, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above the great raptor. Stars flank the left and right peripheries with the words QUARTER DOLLAR at the bottom.
