MacNeil Edge: Reeded Obverse Description: MacNeil's Liberty stands with one hand holding an olive branch, the other bearing a shield. A ribbon connects the branch to the shield. The world LIBERTY appears across the top periphery and the date is centered at the bottom. 13 stars appear to the side of Liberty. Mint mark, if any, is positioned above the date to the left of Liberty. Reverse Description: An eagle in full flight, facing right, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above the great raptor. Stars flank the left and right peripheries with the words QUARTER DOLLAR at the bottom. General Notes: The 1923-S Standing Liberty Quarter is a popular key date in the series and one of the best San Francisco dates overall. Certainly a scarce date with a Full Head in all potential grades from mid-range AU through high-grade gems. MS62 through MS65 are very scarce with the jump into MS66 making it rare. Anything finer than that is considered a great rarity as just a handful exist.
