Design and Specifications of the 1929 Quarter
The 1929 Standing Liberty Quarter was minted during the final year of the Roaring Twenties, just before the onset of the Great Depression. This coin design, first introduced in 1916, was nearing the end of its run, as it would be replaced by the Washington Quarter in 1932.
The Standing Liberty Quarter is known for its artistic beauty and is considered one of the most aesthetically pleasing U.S. coin designs. The year 1929 marks a significant point in American history, as it was the last full year before the economic downturn that would define the following decade.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 1929 Standing Liberty Quarters significantly impacts their value. Due to their silver content and long circulation period, many examples show considerable wear. Coins in higher mint state grades (MS63 and above) are much scarcer and command substantial premiums.
The date on the obverse is a key area to examine, as it often wore down quickly in circulation. Full Head examples, where Liberty's head is fully detailed, are particularly prized and valuable.
Luster and toning also play crucial roles in determining value. Coins with original mint luster and attractive, natural toning are highly sought after by collectors.

Strike quality is an important factor for 1929 Standing Liberty Quarters. Well-struck coins with sharp details, especially on Liberty's head and the eagle's feathers, are more valuable.
The presence of original mint luster can significantly enhance a coin's appeal and value. Coins with full, cartwheel luster are particularly desirable.
Natural toning can also add to a coin's value, with coins displaying attractive, multi-colored toning often commanding premiums.
For the Denver and San Francisco issues, their lower mintages make them more valuable than their Philadelphia counterparts in comparable grades.
