The Standing Liberty Quarter debuted in 1916 when the United States Mint selected it to replace the Barber Quarter, a design that had circulated since 1892. Created by sculptor Hermon Atkins MacNeil, the new quarter marked a noticeable change in U.S. coin design by moving away from traditional portraiture in favor of symbolic, allegorical imagery that reflected broader artistic trends of the early 20th century. This 1928-D Standing Liberty Quarter has a refined strike with an articulate design classic of this series. Today, the 1928-D Standing Liberty Quarter is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1928-D Standing Liberty Quarter from Denver carries special significance as the first and only Denver Mint quarter struck in 1928, with a modest mintage of 1,627,600 pieces. This issue came during the final years of the Standing Liberty series and features both the Type II obverse and the Type II reverse with a recessed date. The “D” mintmark appears on the obverse to the left of the date, and examples with strong strikes and full details on Liberty’s head are particularly prized by collectors.
This 1928-D Standing Liberty Quarter is available in Mint State 65 condition. The coin exhibits a strong luster with good surface preservation. The average MS65 coin has a few scattered, small contact marks or two larger marks. A few small hairlines may be visible on the coin as well.
On the obverse of the 1928-D Standing Liberty Quarter is the Type II depiction of Liberty. This version of the design was first introduced in 1917 in response to public criticism of the original obverse, which some felt portrayed Liberty in an immodest manner. To address these concerns, MacNeil revised the design by adding a chainmail garment to cover Liberty’s exposed breast. While the adjustment satisfied critics, it preserved the original layout and symbolism of the design. The rapid revision stands out as one of the fastest design changes made to a circulating U.S. coin, occurring within the same year the series was released.
The reverse of the 1928-D Standing Liberty Quarter displays the familiar American bald eagle. While the overall eagle design remained unchanged for the Type II reverse, three stars were repositioned beneath the eagle to improve visual balance and strengthen the die. An even more important update involved the placement of the date, which was recessed into the surface of the coin instead of being raised. This change greatly reduced wear during circulation and was implemented after years of public complaints about dates becoming illegible on earlier examples.
