Between the Barber Coinage and the existing Washington Quarter design, the US Quarter Dollar coin featured an image of Liberty designed by sculptor Hermon Atkins MacNeil. His design was one of the more controversial in US history and required several redesigns in its early stages of production. You can still find these quarters today in bulks of junk silver as valuable investment options with 90% silver content per coin. Today, 90% Silver Standing Liberty Quarters are available to you online from JM Bullion with a total face value of $500 (USD).

The design of Liberty from Hermon Atkins MacNeil was selected in 1916 to replace the Barber Coinage quarter design that featured a bust of Liberty in right-profile relief. MacNeil’s design eventually required special legislation from Congress to allow him to make changes to the design after it was already in production because of the poor public reception for one facet of the design.

All of the 90% Silver Standing Liberty Quarters in this product listing contain 90% silver content. Prior to 1965, all US silver denominations had a metallic alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper to create a durable silver coin in circulation. This listing features a total face value of $500 (USD) that consists of a plastic bag containing 2,000 individual US Quarters. Each quarter comes from the Standing Liberty design series with available date marks ranging from 1916 to 1930.

Standing Liberty is shown on the obverse of the 90% Silver Standing Liberty Quarters in this listing. The design depicts Liberty standing between a gap in a wall with an olive branch in her right hand and a shield in her left hand. She looks to the right on the coin, symbolic of heraldic east and raging conflict of World War I in Europe. Her shield helps guard against aggression.

The original design depicted Liberty wearing a robe with her bare chest exposed. Later redesigns of the image saw MacNeil add a chainmail breastplate to Liberty after public outcry over the design.

An American bald eagle is depicted in flight on the reverse of the 90% Silver Standing Liberty Quarters flying from left to right across the design element. The original design included 13 small stars clustered as six on one side of the design field and seven on the other. A later design used larger stars with five on each side and three in the center below the eagle.
