1914-S PCGS MS66 CAC Eliasberg Pedigree

1914-S Barber Quarter — PCGS MS66 CAC Eliasberg Pedigree

A truly exceptional survivor from the San Francisco Mint, this 1914-S Barber Quarter is among the finest known examples of this challenging late-date issue. Struck during the final years of Charles Barber’s long-running quarter dollar design, the 1914-S is well known for soft strikes and heavily abraded survivors—making a Gem Mint State example of this caliber a genuine rarity.

This piece displays outstanding luster, with vibrant, satiny surfaces that flow evenly across both sides. The strike is notably strong for the issue, particularly in Liberty’s hair and the reverse eagle’s breast and wings. The coin is essentially free of significant marks, a remarkable feat for a quarter that saw extensive commercial use and harsh handling in the early 20th century. Subtle, original toning frames the devices, enhancing the coin’s visual depth without detracting from its brilliant overall appearance.

Certified PCGS MS66 and further endorsed with a CAC green sticker, this coin sits firmly within the top tier of quality for the date. The CAC approval confirms not only the accuracy of the grade, but also the coin’s superior originality—an increasingly important factor for advanced Barber Quarter collectors.

Adding to its importance is the Eliasberg pedigree, linking this coin to the only individual ever to assemble a complete collection of U.S. coins by date and mint. Coins from the Eliasberg Collection are universally respected for their exceptional quality, strict standards, and impeccable provenance, making this example especially desirable to collectors who value both condition and history.

A condition-census caliber 1914-S Barber Quarter with elite certification, CAC approval, and one of the most storied pedigrees in American numismatics—this is a trophy-level coin worthy of the finest Barber Quarter or U.S. type collections.
