Description
Herman MacNeil, class of 1886, designed the Standing Liberty Quarter,
which circulated between 1916 and 1930. His original design showing
a bare-breasted Liberty offended the sensibilities of some, and U.S.
Treasury officials asked him to redesign the coin, this time with Liberty
modestly attired.
