The Standing Liberty quarter was introduced in late 1916 to supersede the Barber quarter. It was modified in 1917 to give Liberty a breastplate and again in 1925 to put the date in a recess. However, the mint was rarely able to give the design a full strike (a problem with the other denominations as well) and it was retired in 1932 in favor of the familiar Washington quarter. This date has a low mintage but obtains no premium over the 1928-P.
Recorded mintage: 1,627,600.
Specification: 6.25 g, 0.900 fine silver, 24.3 mm diameter, designed by Hermon MacNeil.
Catalog reference: KM 145.
