Product Details

The Standing Liberty Quarter design was the shortest-lived image introduced on the US quarter-dollar coin in the 20th century. Even by comparison to the Barber Coinage, which halted in 1916 but was introduced in 1892, the Standing Liberty design was in production for just 14 years in the 20th century compared to 16 years in the same century for its predecessor (24 in total). Right now, 90% Silver Standing Liberty Quarters are available to purchase online from Bullion Metals.

Standing Liberty was designed by Hermon Atkins MacNeil in 1916 during a US Mint-Treasury Department contest to acquire new designs for the US dime, quarter, and half dollar. MacNeil’s Standing Liberty was unique among the chosen images and met with lukewarm interest by Americans. After three designs were used over the course of time, the US Mint suspended the image and production of new quarters in 1930.

MacNeil’s vision of Liberty standing in the gap of a wall features on the obverse of 90% Silver Standing Liberty Quarters. She looks to heraldic east with a shield in her left hand to guard the nation against the threats of war in Europe while clutching an olive branch in her right hand.

The image of the American bald eagle on the reverse of the 90% Silver Standing Liberty Quarter was also designed by MacNeil. His depiction of the eagle shows the bird gliding in flight with its wings flexed out to the maximum point.
