Standing Liberty Quarter (Reverse Side)

This is a United States Standing Liberty Quarter, specifically showing the reverse (tails) side. Minted between 1916 and 1930, these coins were struck in 90% silver and 10% copper. The reverse features a majestic eagle in flight, surrounded by the inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' at the top, with 'QUARTER DOLLAR' at the base. The coin exhibits a dull, greyish patina consistent with silver that has circulated over time. In terms of condition, this specimen shows significant wear; the details of the eagle's feathers are flattened, and many of the finer textual elements are blurred or partially worn away into the fields. The rim is smoothed, and the overall strike depth is shallow due to heavy circulation. Based on the position of the eagle and the lack of stars below it, this is likely a 'Type 2' design, which was used from mid-1917 through 1930. The edge appears to be reeded, though wear has likely smoothed these serrations. No specific mint mark (S or D) is clearly legible on this side in its current state, suggesting it may have been minted in Philadelphia or the mark is worn. Total weight when new was 6.25 grams with a diameter of approximately 24.3 mm.
