1918-S Standing Liberty Quarter VF
The 1918 Standing Liberty quarter, struck at the San Francisco Mint, represents a fascinating era in American coinage. This silver coin, composed of 90 percent silver with approximately 0.1808 troy ounces of precious metal, carries a design that reflects the global tensions of its time. On the obverse, Liberty is depicted in a militaristic stance, clad in chainmail as she steps through a gateway. In her hands, she holds both an olive branch and a shield, symbolizing a desire for peace alongside a readiness for defense. The inscription "IN CODV WE TRVST" is visible alongside the mint mark "S" near her feet. Flip the coin over to find a powerful reverse design featuring an eagle soaring through the air. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "E PLVRIBVS VNVM" frame the majestic bird, with the denomination "QUARTER DOLLAR" anchored at the bottom. This particular specimen survives in Very Fine condition, preserving the bold details of Hermon MacNeil's artistic vision.
