This is a listing for the coin pictured. Standing liberty quarters are notoriously worn coins with many of the high relief features worn off during circulation. The result is that many of the coins no longer have a date visible.
Notice the detail on the shield. This is one of the primary indicators of condition for this coin. Most in average conditions do not have any remaining detail on the shield. In these commonly worn conditions, the shield, the drape below the shield, and the body of Lady Liberty have been blended together.
History:
The Standing Liberty quarter is a 25-cent coin that was struck by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1930. In 1915, Director of the Mint Robert W. Woolley began steps to replace the Barber dime, quarter, and half dollar, as he mistakenly believed that the law required new designs. Eventually, the result was this design issued soon after.
In circulation, the coin's date wore away quickly, and Mint engravers modified the design in 1925 to address the issue. The Standing Liberty quarter was discontinued in 1931, a year in which no quarters were struck. By Congressional act the Washington quarter, featuring the first president's profile, was introduced in 1932 to celebrate the bicentennial of his birth.
