The missing mint mark, explained
Look for a letter and you will not find one. The 1929 Standing Liberty Quarter is a Philadelphia product, and the main mint did not sign its work at this time. On branch-mint examples the mark sits on the obverse, just left of the date on the pedestal.
Why the 1929 Standing Liberty Quarter is worth money
Every 1929 Standing Liberty Quarter contains 0.1808 troy ounces of pure silver, currently worth $6.60. That intrinsic value is a hard floor under the price: no matter how worn the coin, the silver inside cannot be graded away.
A large mintage of 11,140,000 means this issue is common in circulated grades. The interesting money starts in Mint State, where quality, not quantity, sets the price.
Context adds the final layer to the 1929 Standing Liberty Quarter. Hermon MacNeil's Standing Liberty quarter is the rarest of the great Renaissance-of-American-coinage designs, struck for only 15 years. Owning this date means owning a piece of that story, and demand for the series as a whole sustains liquidity for every issue in it.
Summary: the 1929 Standing Liberty Quarter is valued between $6.75 and $66.00 as of 2026-06-15. Estimates combine mintage rarity, key-date status and metal content; they are editorial guidance, not an offer to buy.
