About the coin: The Standing Liberty Quarter is a classic United States 1/4 dollar coin designed by American sculptor Hermon A. MacNeil. Coins of this type were struck from 1917 to 1930. On the obverse, Liberty carries a shield representing readiness to defend the nation and an olive branch symbolizing peace. The reverse features an eagle in flight, one of the most recognizable symbols of the United States. The coin was struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, weighs 6.25 g and measures 24.3 mm in diameter. It contains approximately 5.625 g of pure silver. The coin has a reeded edge and coin alignment. In 1925, the date was recessed into the design to help protect it from wear during circulation.
