United States Standing Liberty Quarter

This item is an American silver Standing Liberty quarter, a 25-cent coin minted between 1916 and 1930. The image displays the reverse side of the coin, which features a majestic eagle in flight with wings outstretched, surrounded by the words 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'QUARTER DOLLAR.' Physically, the coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, measuring approximately 24.3mm in diameter. The specimen shows significant signs of age and wear; the surface possesses a heavy, dark brown and grey patina, which is common for silver coins of this era that have been in circulation. The high points of the eagle's wings and breast appear flattened from use, and the overall detail is somewhat muted by 'toning' and surface grime. There are visible small nicks and scratches consistent with its age as a mid-vintaged numismatic piece. The craftsmanship is indicative of Hermon Atkins MacNeil's original Art Deco-inspired design, though the specific mint mark or year cannot be determined without viewing the obverse or a clearer close-up of the area below the eagle. Its condition would likely be graded as 'Circulated' or 'Very Good' based on the level of detail remaining in the feathers and lettering.
