As 1925 began, the Philadelphia Mint adjusted the design of the Standing Liberty quarter for the third time. The dates were placed too high on early dies by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, and thus the digits could wear away long before the coin was worn out. By 1924 this had come to the attention of mint officials, when coins were returned to the Mint with this specific problem. The design was changed the following year to recess the date deeper into the die surface so the digits would not easily wear away. Coinage of this revised design commenced 12,280,000 quarters struck for circulation at the Philadelphia Mint. The branch mints struck no quarters in 1925, for reasons unknown.
