Overview

Obverse features Lady Liberty standing between two pedestals, holding a shield and an olive branch. The reverse typically depicts a soaring eagle.

Historical significance

Designed by Hermon Atkins MacNeil, this series reflects America's transition during WWI. The 1929 issue came out the same year as the Great Depression. The design was modified in 1917 because the original 'bare breasted' Liberty caused public scandal.

Estimated value

$6.00 to $15.00 (based on silver melt value and common circulation wear seen in image)

Care & preservation

Do not clean or polish the coin, as this removes the organic patina and drastically reduces numismatic value. Store in a PVC-free plastic holder or flip to prevent further wear or environmental damage.
