<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Virginian, post: 5011620, member: 27579&quot;]So any of you who collect standing liberty quarters . . . please educate me (if I can be educated <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years ago I decided to put together a mint state type set going back to the liberty seated era.&nbsp; Among all those series of coins, the standing liberty quarter was by far the most difficult for me to find a really nice, high-end, example with good eye appearl at a reasonable price.&nbsp; It was much easier for me to find Barber quarters or liberty seated quarters than standing liberty quarters in the kind of condition and with the kind of eye appeal that I was seeking.&nbsp; The next most difficult was liberty seated halves . . . but those are also much older than the SLQs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think that my observation agrees with your experience, or am I off base?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And if you agree, why is that the case?&nbsp; It seems to be an extremely busy design, and in all of my looking, the vast majority of coins seemed to be weakly struck.&nbsp; Is that it?&nbsp; Or is/are there some other reason(s)?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been curious about this since working on the type set . . . and I&#039;m still not all that thrilled with the standing liberty in that set (kind of sticks out like a sore thumb) and would like to replace it without breaking the bank.&nbsp; So that triggered me to seek answers from the knowledgeable and experts here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts?&nbsp; TIA![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
