1921 Quarter MS FH Values
Details
The 1921 Standing Liberty Quarter is a popular key date in the series and possibly the best Philadelphia date of all the Type 2's. Certainly a scarce date with a Full Head in all potential grades from low-end AU through high-grade gems. MS62 through MS64 are very scarce with the jump into gem making MS65 and MS66 rare. Anything finer than that is considered a great rarity as just a handful exist.
This coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $14.52
Obverse: MacNeil's Liberty stands with one hand holding an olive branch, the other bearing a shield. A ribbon connects the branch to the shield. The world LIBERTY appears across the top periphery and the date is centered at the bottom. 13 stars appear to the side of Liberty. Mint mark, if any, is positioned above the date to the left of Liberty.
Reverse: An eagle in full flight, facing right, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above the great raptor. Stars flank the left and right peripheries with the words QUARTER DOLLAR at the bottom.
