The family and I made a little shopping visit to the local indoor flea market called the Vendor’s Village near where I live. The intent was for me and my youngest son to pick up a few of Mercury dimes that had been on display there the last time we had visited but passed on them at the time. But of course, with our luck, someone had already grabbed them all up before we came back this time.
So instead, I picked these three Standing Liberty Quarters. They were the last ones available on display. Two were graded as Fine, the other I am not sure. I will need to check them all against my grading standards book later, but then again, I have never been that good at grading coins myself. Maybe one of you might be able to give me a better idea. I had shared the obverse image previously on leo threads about a week ago but not sure anyone really got to see them there.
I would love to get ahold of a 1916, but know that would be a real stretch for me. But can always wish sometimes. The 1918/7-S overdate, the 1919-D and 1921 issues with the strong reverse, and the 1927-S double eagle would be some nice snags for the Standing Liberty as well. But all of these draw a heavy price.
The Standing Liberty is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. It weighs about 6.25 grams and both obverse and reverse was designed by Hermon Atkins MacNeil.
That is it for this post. See ya in the comments.
