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.
