The last year for circulating silver quarters was 1964. That predates the State and National Park quarters, so the answer is simply "an eagle". All years except 1916-1930 show the eagle with its wings spread, in various poses. From 1916 to 1930, the eagle is shown in flight.
Circulating U.S. coins were made of .900 fine silver. The remainder was copper for hardness. Anything with a purity of .990 would be too soft to stand up to being handled in circulation.
No US silver peace dollars were struck in 1929 or 1930.
A 1930 quarter features the Standing Liberty design, which showcases Lady Liberty standing confidently with a shield in one hand and an olive branch in the other. The obverse includes the inscription "LIBERTY" and the year "1930," while the reverse depicts an eagle in flight, along with the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "QUARTER DOLLAR." The coin typically has a silver composition, giving it a shiny, silvery appearance, and the details may vary based on its condition and wear over the years.
