1929-S Obverse Die Clash Quarter MS FH FS-401 Values
Details
The 1929 Standing Liberty Quarter San Francisco is an ideal branch mint type coin for the series. Collectability begins in the AU range and remains very accessible up until MS67. MS67 and any finer are considered scarce. This issue comes with a strong strike, quality luster and, in some cases, very attractive toning.
This coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $15.22
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.
