The 1923 Standing Liberty Quarter minted out of Philadelphia is an excellent type coin for the series. Collectability begins in the AU range and remains very accessible up until MS67. MS67 and any finer are considered scarce. This issue comes with a strong strike, quality luster and, in some cases, gorgeous toning.
