Design and Specifications of the 1919 Quarter
The 1919 Standing Liberty Quarter was part of the series that began in 1916, replacing the Barber Quarter. This coin represents a pivotal year in American history, as it was minted shortly after the end of World War I. The Standing Liberty design symbolized America’s readiness to defend its neutrality and later its active role in the war.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 1919 Standing Liberty Quarters. These coins were subject to heavy wear in circulation, particularly on Liberty’s head and the date. Well-struck examples with full head details are highly prized and command significant premiums.
The presence of original mint luster greatly enhances value, as does attractive, natural toning. Coins in Mint State grades, especially MS65 and above, are scarce and highly sought after by collectors.

Date visibility is a critical factor for 1919 Standing Liberty Quarters. Many examples have weak or partially worn dates, making those with clear, full dates more valuable. Strike quality varies considerably for this year, with well-struck coins being more desirable.
The Denver and San Francisco issues, due to their lower mintages, generally command higher premiums than their Philadelphia counterparts, especially in higher grades. Collecting interest in the Standing Liberty Quarter series as a whole also contributes to the demand for 1919 issues.
