Overview

Historical significance

The Standing Liberty Quarter was minted during and after World War I, reflecting a period of significant change and patriotism in the United States. Its design, especially the initial exposed breast of Liberty, caused some controversy, leading to a quick modification. It was replaced by the Washington Quarter in 1932.

Estimated value

The value of a Standing Liberty Quarter varies greatly depending on its year, mint mark, and condition. Common dates in circulated condition can range from $10 to $50, while rare dates or coins in uncirculated condition can fetch hundreds or even thousands of dollars. An exact value cannot be provided without knowing the specific year and mint mark, and a professional grading.

Care & preservation

Handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin, which can damage the surface. Store the coin in a stable environment, ideally in a non-PVC holder or slab designed for coin storage, away from extreme temperature changes or humidity. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can severely decrease its numismatic value.
