Standing Liberty Quarters
July 22nd, 2009
The Standing Liberty Quarter was issued from 1916 to 1930. Many consider this coin to feature one of the most beautiful United States coin designs from the Renaissance era of US coinage. The design, featuring a standing image of Liberty holding a shield and olive branch, was created by Hermon A. MacNeil, a sculptor from Massachusetts. The reverse design features an eagle in flight. During the course of the Standing Liberty Quarter series, coins were minted at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints. The lowest mintage occurred with the 1916 coin, when only 52,000 were minted.
