1929-S Standing Liberty Quarter AU
The 1929-S Standing Liberty Quarter represents a fascinating era in United States coinage. Struck in San Francisco from 90 percent silver, this twenty-five cent piece contains approximately 0.1788 troy ounces of precious metal. Its visual presentation showcases a distinct artistic direction that captures both strength and peace. On the obverse, a militaristic depiction of Liberty stands in a gateway, dressed in protective chainmail. She holds an olive branch in one hand and a shield in the other, embodying a watchful guardian. The inscriptions "IN COD WE TRVST" and the date "1929" are visible alongside the "S" mint mark. The reverse displays a powerful eagle soaring through the air with its wings fully spread. This dynamic image is accompanied by the traditional inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLVRIBVS VNVM," and the denomination "QUARTER DOLLAR." Designed by Hermon MacNeil, this coin remains a compelling study in early twentieth-century American numismatic art.
