The 1923-S Standing Liberty Quarter has a mintage of 1.3 million and is an extremely difficult coin to find in all conditions. The Certified Standing Liberty Quarter 1923-S AU58 NGC is in almost uncirculated condition and comes encased in an official NGC holder. The US Mint had trouble with the die that made the Standing Liberty Quarters. For the first 8 years, the dates on all of the quarters would wear quickly, even less circulated coins. This issue wasn't fixed until 1925 so all of the coins minted before that date have very weakly struck dates. The 1923-S Standing Liberty Quarter is among the weakly struck and in good condition, the date is barely readable. Collectors expect good condition is contain heavy wear, resulting in a lack of detail and smooth coin.
The Standing Liberty Quarter was minted from 1916 until 1930. Replacing the Barber Quarter, the Standing Liberty was President Theodore Roosevelt's attempt to making US coinage a work of art again. Although there were some low mintage years, the Standing Liberty Quarter's average mintage is quite high. After several revisions, the Standing Liberty depicts a warrior-like Lady Liberty, wearing chain mail on her chest and is holding a shield with one hand. The other hand is holding an olive branch, signifying peace. The date of mintage is inscribed underneath Liberty's sandaled feet. The reverse features a large eagle in flight, with the coin's monetary denomination of a quarter dollar. From a very militaristic theme to dolphins to a more peaceful Liberty, the Standing Liberty Quarter has come a long way during its production.
