Question
I have a quarter and it does not have a dated on it, the front is a lady
standing with liberty about her head and in god with trust is across her middle
part it also has 6 star on both side of her going down, the back has a eagle
with united states of america above it, it has three star below the body and it
has quarter dollar with stars on around it, If you could help me out thanks
Yvette
It also has the letters VNVM and E Pevribus I think its kind of hard to make out.
Yvette,
You have a Standing Liberty Quarter. The design of the coin left the date as one of the highest points of the design, so it was one of the first things to wear off. These were minted from 1916 to 1930.
With no date, its only value is in the silver it contains -- currently about $2.00
BTW, the letters are E PLURIBUS UNUM.
I hope this helps,
Dan

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
