Whitman Coin Folder/Album, Liberty Standing Quarters, 1916-1930 Inclusive

Description

Whitman Folders - Liberty Standing Quarters, 1916-1930 Inclusive
This type quarter was designed by Herman A. Mac Neil. Liberty is shown "stepping forward to the gateway of the country." The shield is raised " in the attitude of protection. The right hand bears the olive branch of peace." The designer's initial M is on the base of the right portal. The reverse depicts an eagle in full flight.
The original 1916 design was not received favorably by the public and was modified during 1917 with a more fully clothed figure of Liberty and a better proportioned eagle on the reverse. In 1925 a depression was made in the pedestal on which Liberty stands to protect the date from excessive wear. The subsequent "recessed" date proved more durable as a result of this change.
The mint marks D or S appear at the base of the left portal. D for Denver; S, San Francisco and no letter, Philadelphia. Below each opening is shown the quantity minted.
