Description
The 1930 Standing Liberty Quarter is a quarter from the Philadelphia Mint, belonging to the Standing Liberty Quarters 1916-1930 series. With a mintage of 5.6 million, this is a less common issue — the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 78% of production. 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. Philadelphia's mint — the nation's first — has produced coins without interruption since its founding in 1792. 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 #5778.
