Design and Specifications of the 1925 Quarter
The 1925 Standing Liberty Quarter was part of a series that began in 1916, replacing the Barber Quarter. This coin represents a pivotal year in the series, as it was the last year before a significant design modification in 1926, which recessed the date to prevent wear.
The Standing Liberty design symbolized America's preparedness during World War I, with Liberty holding a shield and olive branch. The 1925 issue is notable for its strong strikes and often excellent luster, making it a favorite among collectors of the series.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 1925 Standing Liberty Quarters. These coins often suffered from weak strikes, particularly on Liberty's head and the central shield. Well-struck examples with full head details command significant premiums.
Coins in Mint State grades, especially MS65 and above, are highly sought after and can be quite valuable. The date on these quarters was prone to wear, so coins with a clear, readable date are more desirable.
Luster is another important factor, with coins retaining their original mint luster being particularly prized by collectors. Toning can also add to the value, with attractive, natural toning often increasing a coin's appeal and price.

Mint mark can significantly affect the value of 1925 quarters. San Francisco (S) mint coins, due to their lower mintage, are generally more valuable than those from Philadelphia or Denver.
Strike quality is particularly important for this issue. Coins with a 'Full Head' designation, where all the details of Liberty's head are clearly visible, can command substantial premiums.
The presence of original mint luster and attractive, natural toning can also increase a coin's value. Conversely, cleaning, heavy wear, or damage can significantly decrease value.
For high-grade examples, eye appeal is crucial. Coins with exceptional visual appeal often sell for prices well above those of average examples in the same numerical grade.
