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.

General Notes: The 1929 Standing Liberty Quarter San Francisco Mint is an ideal branch mint type coin for the series. Collectability begins at the high-end AU range and remains very accessible up until the gem level. MS66 is considered scarce with anything finer being a really great rarity. Along with the accessibility and affordability, this date also comes with a strong strike, quality luster and even some attractive toning making it a great FH type coin.
