The 1926-S is a much better date among the San Francisco minted Standing Liberty Quarters. Collectible as low as the XF grade range. Scarce as a low-end Mint State coin and gradually increases in value into gem condition. Rare as a gem, especially past MS66. Anything finer than that is very rare as just a handful exist graded that high. Striking can be an issue for this date.
