Item Description
The "Standing Liberty" quarter was a 25-cent coin struck by the US Mint from 1916 to 1930. Designed by sculptor Hermon Atkins MacNeil, the coin featured the goddess of Liberty on the obverse w/an eagle in flight on the reverse. In late 1916, Mint officials made major changes to the design w/o consulting MacNeil. The sculptor complained about the changes after receiving the new issue in Jan., 1917. The Mint obtained special legislation to allow MacNeil to redesign the coin as he desired. One change made by the sculptor was the addition of a chain mail vest that covered Liberty's formerly bare breast. This is Type 1 w/o chain mail vest. From the Robert M. Overstreet Collection and comes with COA.
