Standing Liberty Quarter (1916–1930)

MacNeil's Liberty stands holding a shield and olive branch. Type 1 (1916–early 1917) and Type 2 (1917–1930) differ in reverse eagle position and obverse drapery. The dates wore off quickly on early issues; recessed dates introduced in 1925 fixed the problem. Full Head (FH) designation on the reverse is the premium attribute.
