1926-S Standing Liberty Quarter VF
The 1926 Standing Liberty quarter, minted in San Francisco, represents a fascinating era in United States coinage. Struck in 90 percent silver with a precious metal content of 0.17875 troy ounces, this twenty-five cent piece showcases a highly detailed and symbolic design that captures the national mood of its time. On the obverse, a militaristic depiction of Liberty is shown walking through a stone gateway. She is outfitted in chainmail armor, holding an olive branch of peace in one hand and a protective shield in the other. The year 1926 is visible at her feet, alongside the San Francisco "S" mint mark and the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST". The reverse side of the coin presents a powerful image of an eagle soaring through the sky. Surrounding the majestic bird are the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the face value, "QUARTER DOLLAR". This particular coin survives in Very Fine condition, allowing observers to appreciate the intricate details of Hermon MacNeil's original artistic vision.
