icollectyoubuy Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 5:51 pm So way back there was estimated to be around 3,000-4,000 1927-S Standing Liberty quarters. I know someone who owns over 1,000 of those and counting. Does anyone else think this coin is going to go way up. The price has been pretty stable for quite some time.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/15/2013 01:19 am I own 5 and there has been talk of this coin being a sleeper. This date saw a ton of circulation so higher grade examples are the true rarities. I don't see the price increasing dramatically in the near future. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
taylor34 Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 07/15/2013 01:29 am 3000 or 4000 survived? I would think that number would have to be way higher, just based upon ebay...there are 371 listed right now. By comparison, there are ~7 1916 quarters for sale (once you filter out all the junk, I could have missed some). So the mintage is like 8x that of the 1916, but there are 53x as many on ebay.

taylor34 Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 07/15/2013 01:35 am NGC has also certified 900+ of them (I'm assuming PCGS is also at that number or higher), that's almost 2k right there. Add your friends 1000, there's 3000 already. Report this Post to the Staff

That's a quarter of the SURVIVING mintage A quarter of the whole mintage would be 100K of them. I Agree though that 3,000 to 4,000 is probably way too low an estimate. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36741 Posts	Posted 07/15/2013 10:09 am If more people collected SLQ's then the price would have already sky rocketed. It boils down to the number of people needing that coin to fill a hole in an album. The serious collector will want high grade coins. Current price levels seem fair for this coin.

IMO, I would estimate close to a third of the original mintage (around 120,000) is either in personal collections, or available for sale somewhere. I also don't believe the 1927 S Standing Liberty quarter is going to skyrocket in price either. Report this Post to the Staff

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 07/16/2013 03:25 am This is a great example of condition rarity for the mintage. As vermontesium said this date saw a lot of circulation so for investment purposes you would have to get an MS condition piece as there are to many low grade coins still readily available. Having a 1,000 of this date is going to be hard to liquidate when the time comes to sell them. Imagine the effect on the price if they were to hit the market all at once.

taylor34 Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 07/16/2013 1:34 pm Hard to liquidate? Nah, just has to sell one a week for twenty years, lol. :) If he starts now he'll complete the liquidation by 2033. Report this Post to the Staff
