Does anyone have the Knauss book on Standing Liberty quarters and is this the die break on the 30-S he is talking about around the date that eventually fails completely?  |

Nice find. Yes that is the type 30S-2 page 312 pictured in Bob's book.
These are very scarce and will go up in value as more people start to collect SLQ's. Your quarter looks to be VF to EF.

Thanks Gary. I've only seen a picture of one other that was in a Heritage auction that was graded NGC 10. The die break on that one was more complete where the date was obscured except for the 0. The auction was from 2005 and did not sell. Hard to put a value on this one.

I collect these and have 10 of them in various grades. *** Edited by Staff - Please Review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. *** It looks like yours is certified. What grade is assigned to it? Until recently, none were known in mint state. I cherrypicked a type 1 and a type 2. One is MS64 and the other MS63. These are the finest known so far. I have been actively searching for these since around 2004. Gary |

It's graded VF30 but it's ICG. It appears accurate but who knows.

As it seems you have a pretty good knowledge about SLQ varieties, do you know of a S/S 1928? I'm aware of the large and small mmarks but I haven't seen any literature about an S/S. I thought I had bought one on ebay but the seller didn't ship the same coin as in the picture. I hate that. |

There is a S/S 1928. The second S looks like it is sticking out from right side of the S on top. They are not hard to find. I have seen several in the last few months. You might also look for other dates with a die crack surrounding the date. I know of three more 1920-S, 1924-S, and a 1926-S. Also there is a 1928-S with a die crack almost surrounding the date. The 20-S has the die crack going through the date but it goes to the rim on each side and is considered a Retained Cud. Gary  |

Ten of the 30-S. Four Type 1 30-S and Six Type 2 30-S.
I have 2 of the 20-S, one each of the 24-S, 26-S and the 28-S with die cracks surrounding the dates.
