This 1920-D Standing Liberty quarter can be full of history. The coin, which was designed by Hermon Akins MacNeil, was issued at a time when the U.S. mint followed a custom of doing a full re-design of its silver coins, including quarters, every 25 years. By 1916, a quarter of a century had passed since the Barber coinage had been designed, so it was time for a new type of design for U.S. silver currency. The Standing Liberty quarter ending up having a shorter run than the Barber silver quarters it replaced, and it stopped being produced in 1930. No U.S. quarters were minted in 1931, and in 1932, a new quarter debuted; these new coins depicted George Washington. Furthermore, the design underwent a slight modification in 1925 to make the years of the coins less susceptible to being worn off through ordinary use in commerce. The mints in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco struck quarter dollar silver coins with the Standing Liberty design. The 1920-D Standing Liberty quarter, with a D mint mark indicating that it was struck at the Denver mint, is the type that coin collectors value the most. The mintage of these coins with quarter dollar values and the Standing Liberty design is more than three million, and the coin collecting scene values them almost regardless of condition. Made of ninety percent silver, the Standing Liberty quarter can be a beautiful coin. The obverse of the coin shows Lady Liberty wearing a chain mail vest and holding a shield; she is standing between two columns of stars. The reverse of the coin depicts a flying eagle. It has the inscription “In God We Trust” around the upper edge of the coin, “One Quarter Dollar” across the bottom, and “E Pluribus Unum” just above the eagle. Coins like this Standing Liberty quarter are graded on the PCGSS scale, with qualitative grades as well as numerical. The highest qualitative grade for coins minted after 1816 and circulated as currency is Proof. These grades are used to determine the value of the coin, and when a coin receives a poor PGCS grade, the fact that the Professional Coin Grading Silver assigned it a grade at all demonstrates that it is authentic. Coins even with middling PCGS grades can be as suitable for display as they are for being kept in coin albums. This coin can make a beautiful display item for your home or workplace or a great gift for an enthusiast of historical coins.
