1924 Quarter Appraisal

1924 Standing Liberty Quarter (Type 2)

This is a United States coin, specifically a Standing Liberty Quarter dated 1924. The coin is made of 90% silver and 10% copper, typical for US coinage of this era. The obverse features an image of Lady Liberty standing, draped in a gown, holding a shield in her left hand and an olive branch in her right. The word 'LIBERTY' is clearly visible above her, and the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is partially discernible to her right. The date '1924' is visible at Liberty's feet, distinguishing it as a Type 2 Standing Liberty Quarter where the date is recessed and supposedly protected from wear, though some wear is still evident. The coin's edge appears reeded. The reverse displays a majestic eagle in flight, with its wings spread widely, facing right. Above the eagle are the words 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'. Below the eagle, the denomination 'QUARTER DOLLAR' is clearly inscribed. The coin exhibits a circulated condition, indicated by some softening of details, particularly on Liberty's face and shield, and on the eagle's feathers. There is a general, even gray-silver patina across both sides, consistent with age and silver content. No significant scratches, dings, or repairs are immediately apparent from the provided images, but the definition of some design elements is reduced due to normal wear. The craftsmanship is typical of US mint products from the early 20th century. The mint mark, if present, is not clearly visible in the provided images (it would be located on the obverse, to the left of Liberty's foot).
