Description
The 1930 (S) Standing Liberty Quarter is a quarter produced at the San Francisco Mint as part of the Standing Liberty Quarters 1916-1930 series. With a mintage of 1.6 million, this is a scarce issue — the lower-mintage of the two mint variants. The obverse features Liberty standing in a gateway between two walls, holding an olive branch and a shield and the reverse displays an eagle in flight. The final year of the Standing Liberty Quarter before the Washington Quarter replaced it in 1932. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value ranges from $20 to $292 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 6.3 grams, 24.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #5780.
