1919-S Standing Liberty Quarter

The 1919-S Standing Liberty Quarter had a relatively small mintage of just over 1.8 million coins struck at the San Francisco Mint. The 1919-S Standing Liberty Quarter is a valuable coin that will cost a premium for some of the highest grades available. It’s possible that the lower mintage is what makes this coin so expensive, or possibly due to the fact that it can be difficult to find in the highest Mint State grades.

History of the 1919-S Standing Liberty Quarter
