Please share your Standing Liberty Quarters.

Beautiful examples everyone. I just picked up my first one a few weeks back.





For only $18,000 more I could get this one with a full head

LOL. I bought that two years ago when I found out that the 2016 100th anniversary coins were going to be gold wafers. My own observation of the anniversary you could say.

 

Wow, that's outstanding!

 

There are some gorgeous coins in this thread.

 

Before it was slabbed and you can see where my friend nicked it with his digging tool. I was there when he found it, not twenty feet from where I was hunting. I was "this" close to the find of a lifetime!!! I ended up buying it from him so it will be with me till death do we part.

 

My contributions - all raw coins

 

You missed ‘27...

 

Just got this graded. Sorry the image isn't magnified, this is from ANACS's image service. Mine doesn't compare well with the gorgeous beauties on this thread, but the date sorta makes up for that.

 

Harry Laibstain posted a 1924-D Full Head for sale on their website, MS-63. But I easily prefer yours, it's just terrific looking.

 

Yeah I just can't get behind paying lots of multiples for a coin just for a full head or any of the other strike designations. That 63FH probably costs more than my 66+ non-full head. I'll take the one with a slightly lesser strike but blazing luster and a few contact marks personally. I don't blame people who do pay for the designation it's just another area to collect, I just personally don't care enough. Like I said the same 66+ in FH for my coin is 18k. Think I'd rather grab a high grade draped bust $5 for that 18k!

 

This is in my 20th Century set. I purchased it from JJ Teaparty a few years ago

 

That's really nice.

 

Thats a nice dig. What did it grade?

 

I have to agree with Larry in his first post that the SLQ was one of this nations most beautiful coins. The art deco design so ahead of its time.
Teddy Roosevelt was always my favorite President.....
"Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind...but great actions speak to all mankind."
President Roosevelt in my honest opinion should of been honored on one of our coins.
I am not a fan of dead presidents on our coinage...however his love of nature, art, and most of all country .
He pushed for designs like the standing Liberty quarter wanting the U.S. coins to be what he believed works of art...like those of other nations.
Granted he was not in office when the first SLQ was struck in fact died 2 years after the first strike...but he truly wanted our money to stand out and to adorn the beauty of this nation.
One can only imagine the the envy of other nations seeing these works of art on silver discs.

 

I have a few more to post - keep posting yours!

1925 was the first year that the date was placed in a contoured field to keep it from wearing off so quickly.
