This is a great date - 1901. The turn of the century. President Teddy Roosevelt just takes office. The 1901 Philadelphia quarter is common but the 1901 San Francisco is a monster. The New Orleans issue is a branch mint that affords some good value for the grades and is relatively affordable. People love the O mint coins from these years. The coin itself is gorgeous for XF40. It is definitely undervalued compared to price guides, as of May 2026
