Historical Context
About the Standing Liberty Quarter series
Designer: Hermon A. MacNeilYears struck: 1916–1930

Liberty was originally depicted bare-breasted (1916–early 1917) - modified to wear a chain-mail vest mid-1917 amid Victorian-era objections. The Type 1 variants are scarce and command significant premiums. Replaced by the Washington Quarter for the 1932 Washington bicentennial.
