1926 Standing Liberty Quarter Good/VG
1926 Standing Liberty Quarter Good/VG
The 1926 Standing Liberty quarter is a compelling example of early twentieth-century American coinage. Struck in 90 percent silver, this twenty-five cent piece carries a net silver weight of 0.17875 troy ounces. Even in a worn, circulated condition graded as Good to Very Good, the fundamental strength of its artistic composition remains clear to the eye. On the obverse, the design by Hermon MacNeil presents a full-length figure of Liberty stepping forward through an opening in a wall or gate. In her hands, she holds both an olive branch and a protective shield, symbolizing a dual stance of peace and defense. The date 1926 is positioned at the base, while the motto "IN COD WE TRVST" is visible alongside the figure. The reverse of the coin features a majestic eagle captured mid-flight. This soaring bird is surrounded by the national inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and the denomination "QUARTER DOLLAR". This combination of active, symbolic imagery makes the 1926 quarter a fascinating study for those exploring the history of United States currency.
