Standing Liberty Quarter (1916 - 1930)

The Standing Liberty Quarter is one of the most famous and beautiful coins in the history of the United States. It was made between 1916 and 1930. This quarter, which was designed by Hermon A. MacNeil, took the place of the Barber Quarter. The objective was to design a new creative depiction of American principles that would be included in the country's currency. The Standing Liberty Quarter was created in the early 1900s as part of a larger initiative to redesign the coins used in the United States.

The front side of the coin features Lady Liberty. With a shield in her left hand and an olive branch in her right hand, she is standing. This symbolizes both defence and peace. On the other side, there is an eagle in flight, which is a strong symbol of American independence.

Capability of Collection

Collectors are especially interested in the Standing Liberty Quarter since it was only produced for a limited time and its design changed throughout the years. The following are some of the most important problems:

• • 1916 Quarter: This is one of the most valuable and uncommon types, as only 52,000 of them were ever produced.
• • 1918/7-S Overdate: Coin collectors are eager to get their hands on this quarter since it was made with a minting mistake.
• • 1927-S: Considered one of the scarcest in high grades.

In 1932, which was the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth, the Washington Quarter took the place of the Standing Liberty Quarter. The Standing Liberty Quarter is a cherished part of the history of coin collecting in the United States, even though it was only produced for a brief period.

Value of Quarter

The cost that is required for a Standing Liberty is determined by a variety of different variables.

• • The first thing a collector will evaluate when they look at a coin is its condition, which is usually the case for older coins. If the item has been well maintained, the price being asked for it will probably be more than that of a similar coin that is in inferior shape.
• • Additionally, collectors should consider the type of coin they wish to buy.
• • Furthermore, to those two crucial variables, you also need to consider the extremely rare forms of Standing Liberty.
