Even the 1920 branch-mint quarters, which are clearly scarcer than the Philadelphia issue, are still quite reasonably affordable for many coin collectors. The key point to remember when buying any Standing Liberty quarters, most especially the pre-1925 issues, is that you should avoid pieces that have been poorly struck.

Full-head ('FH') Standing Liberty quarters – those that exhibit great detail on Liberty's head – are especially desirable among the higher-grade pieces. Be sure to spend a little extra time to look for pieces with that extra detail and you will have made a purchase that can pay dividends in terms of eye appeal and potential resale value.

Background

The America the Beautiful Quarters® Program is the U.S. 25-cent coin program, spanning 2010 to 2021. The obverse (heads) shows the profile of George Washington used on the quarter since 1932. The reverse (tails) features five designs each year depicting national parks and sites from the 50 states, District of Columbia, and territories.

The 2021 General George Washington Crossing the Delaware Quarter will circulate following the issuance of the final coin in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. The obverse features the profile of Washington and the inscriptions that appeared on the quarter before the 50 State Quarters Program began in 1999. The reverse depicts Washington's historic crossing of the Delaware River during the American Revolutionary War.

The first quarter made by the U.S. Mint in 1796 was silver. The designs from 1796 to 1930 showed Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse.

From 1916 to 1930, the Mint produced the 'Standing Liberty' quarter designed by Hermon A. MacNeil. The early 20th century brought some of our country's most iconic coin designs, including this quarter. The obverse featured the figure of Liberty stepping through the opening in a wall. She held a shield in one hand and an olive branch in the other. The reverse depicted an eagle in flight.

In 1932, an image of George Washington designed by John Flanagan replaced Liberty on the obverse of the quarter. The design change honored Washington's 200th birthday. From 1932 to 1998, the reverse featured an eagle with wings spread, standing on a bundle of arrows with olive branches beneath it. In 1965, the Mint removed silver from the quarter and the composition became copper-nickel clad.

In 1975 and 1976, the Mint celebrated the bicentennial of the Declaration of Independence with a temporary reverse design. The 'Bicentennial' quarter shows a colonial drummer and a victory torch circled by 13 stars, representing the 13 original colonies. It is impossible to tell a quarter minted in 1975 from one in 1976, as all are inscribed with '1776-1976'.

From 1999 to 2008, the reverse design changed five times a year through the 50 State Quarters Program. The reverse designs featured elements that celebrated each state. In 2009, the reverse design changed six times through the District of Columbia and U.S. Territories Quarters Program.
