All of this coins had a image of Lady Liberty on them.The first one of this coins to be discontinude was the Standing Liberty Quarter in 1930. All of this coins experinced the time of the Great War (World War I) and the Roaring Twenties, and the Mercury Dime and Walking Liberty experinced the Great Depression and two World Wars. The Mercury Dime and the Walking Liberty was designed by the same man Adolph Weinman and the Standing Liberty by Herman A.
