Owner's Description

There are two major changes to this “Type 2” MS-63, 1924 Standing Liberty Quarter over the “Type 1”. The first change covers Lady Liberty’s right breast with a coat of mail, and contrary to the popular belief, was not the result of a public outcry. The other change is on the reverse of the “Type 2” Standing Liberty Quarter and places the eagle in the center of the coin with three of the 13 stars underneath its breast. This design change gives the impression of the eagle soaring ever higher. All our coins, including the Standing Liberty Quarter, are representative of our nation's values. Over the course of our nation’s history, we have held a steadfast belief in God as expressed on our coinage with the motto “In God We Trust”. We have always believed that when our cause is just, God is with us. This belief stands out in the symbolism of the Standing Liberty Quarter. The wall on the obverse of the coin with 13 stars around the gate represents our nation. The motto “In God We Trust” written across the wall represents the wall’s foundation and strength. With God to protect us, the wall becomes impenetrable to our foes and the gateway guarded by Lady Liberty is open to all who love freedom and peace.
