Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 77942)

The Standing Liberty Quarter Set Twenty-five cents is part of a series of Standing Liberty quarter coins struck from 1916-1930. The specific variety is no 1918/7. Struck in Various and designated as a Business (MS) strike, this coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper.
In 1916, Hermon MacNeil's Standing Liberty quarter debuted, marking the beginning of a relatively short series that was in production until only 1930. While its run was brief, the Standing Liberty series saw the release of several interesting and scarce issues.

The first-year issue, made only at the Philadelphia Mint, was struck to the tune of only 52,000 pieces and has become the definite series key date. By 1917, the design had caused a controversy concerning public decency, as Miss Liberty's right breast is exposed on the first manifestation of the design. The United States Mint modified the design during 1917, covering Miss Liberty's breast with a chain mail. This design changed created two varieties during 1917, with Type I classifying Standing Liberty quarters from 1916 and 1917 bearing the original design and Type II quarters referring to all made from 1917 and on with the revised design.

Also in 1917, the reverse design with the flying eagle was slightly modified, resulting in the relocation of three stars (of 13 on the reverse) being moved from near the rim to just under the eagle. In 1925, the date on the pedestal upon which Miss Liberty stands was recessed into design at the same location, making it more difficult for the date to become completely obliterated through typical wear.

In addition to the rare 1916 Standing Liberty quarter, there are several scarce issues from the series. These include the 1921, 1923-S, 1927-D, and 1927-S.

Obverse: MacNeil's Liberty stands with one hand holding an olive branch, the other bearing a shield. A ribbon connects the branch to the shield. The world LIBERTY appears across the top periphery and the date is centered at the bottom. 13 stars appear to the side of Liberty. Mint mark, if any, is positioned above the date to the left of Liberty.
Reverse: An eagle in full flight, facing right, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above the great raptor. Stars flank the left and right peripheries with the words QUARTER DOLLAR at the bottom.

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value.
