Please share your Standing Liberty Quarters.

These are one of my favorite coin types of all times. A really pretty design.

Seated or standing?
Was it @ToughCOINS that had a clashed one a while back? We were trying to figure that out but I never heard a followup.

 

She might have been sitting but she sure is standing now!

 

I'm a bit slow in the mornings. I fixed it.

 

I LOVE the looks of this series. But I HATE the prices for examples in the grades that I like to collect. I've only ever owned 1 MS coin from this series. It was a spectacular looking example, unfortunately I could only be it's custodian for a short period of time.

 

One day I’m hoping to have this in a detail free holder.

 

I love these too, and I have been scouring for bargains so I could even have some of my own. Fittingly this was the first I acquired.

 

My one and only. I'm currently looking for a Type 2 to add to my collection.

An AU example from my Dansco

 

Nice coin, somewhere between AU35 and AU45 ;-)

 

The pics are purdy, sorry.
It's an AU 53 example at least

 

I only own one SLQ (these are completely unknown in prooflike condition - if you have one that is PL, please let me know and I will throw many dollars at you to obtain a PL SLQ).

I went to my very first coin show in 10th grade, which would have been 2000.

I bought 3 coins at that show - my very first Franklin (a circulated 1959), a cherry red 1955S Lincoln, and this unfortunate SLQ which I got for a crazy good price. I didn't know any better at the time, but when I learned more I realized she had a staple scratch all the way across the coin. You can see it in these pictures. I keep this coin as a reminder of that lesson.

 

I lucked up upon an extra fine example of a '93s Morgan. a dream coin by most standards. At $450 bucks, it was so tempting, just couldn't get past the deep staple scratch running across the entire face. When I looked at the coin, it was all that I saw, was quite depressing.

 

I have 3 SLQ's, one of each variety.

1917 T1, MS-64 FH



1923 T2 Var1, MS-65



1929 T2 Var2, MS-64

 

I found this one in a old album. Sold it raw and the buyer sent it to PCGS where it graded AU58.

 

That's a beauty! Most of my favorite coins are AU58.

 

I sold it too cheap... $110.
