Hi, The Standing Liberty Quarters: Dates issued: 1916-1930
Disigner: Hermon A. MacNeil
Mints: Philadelphina,Denver and San Francisco
Mintage: 27,860,000 (1920); 52,000 (1916).
A rare and unusual variety of standing Liberty quarters was created in 1918 when the pressures of wartime production allowed a defective die to be production. The error was identical to one that occurred on the 1918-D nickle when the date 1918 was inpressed over 1917 in the die. On the quarter a 1917 die was partially finished and then given a final impression w/a hub dated 1918. Later, a San Francisco Mint was added to the die, and it was sent directly to California for production. The coins made from this defective die show the date as 1918-S w/a trace of the number 7 beneath the 8. A particularly choice specimen of this rare coin sold to a private investor in 1990 for the record price of ,000! So I'm keepin my fingures crossed for you! I'm hope this is the date of your coin!!!
Otherwise the "S" mints on the coins w/dates of: 1917-S (Covered breast) .00/1918-S,1920-S,1924-S .00. 1924-S .00. 1927-S .00. 1923-S .00.1926-S .00. 1929-S .00, and all other dates 1925-30....00. All in fine condition... Good luck!!!

What year would a quarter be if it has an eagle on the back of coin and a man carring a sack on the front of coin?
It's not a man carrying a sack. It's Miss Liberty wearing a gown. The coin is called a Standing Liberty Quarter. The Standing Liberty Quarter was minted from 1916-1930. These quarters are composed of 90% Silver and 10% copper.
What is the value of a 1925-M US quarter?
the "M" on the front of a Standing Liberty quarter is the monogram of the coin's designer rather than a mint mark. Please see the Related Question for more information.

What is on the front of the Standing Liberty Quarter 1920?
This type of quarter was designed by Hermon A. MacNeil. The left arm of Liberty is upraised uncovering a shield in the attitude of protection. Her right hand bears the olive branch of peace. There was a modification in 1917 because of public resentment to Liberty's exposed breast. The reverse is an arrangement of the stars and eagle.
What is the value of a quarter with a statue on the front and an eagle on the back?
Not enough information. It's possible you have a Standing Liberty quarter, in which case it's not a statue on the front, it's a picture of Miss Liberty. If the coin's date is visible please post a new question with that information. If it's worn off (a common problem with SL quarters) it's at least worth about $2.50 for its silver content.
What is the value of a 1916 US quarter?
Two types of quarters were made in 1916. The most common type is called a "Barber" quarter after its designer Charles Barber. This design has Miss Liberty's head on the front and a spread-winged eagle on the back. The other design is called a Standing Liberty quarter and is much scarcer. Its design features a full-length image of Miss Liberty on the front and a flying eagle on the back. Any such coins should be inspected by an expert to ensure they're genuine. There's more information at the Related Questions.
Who is on the 1914 Quarter?
The 1914 US Barber quarter shows "Miss Liberty' on the front of the coin. Not a depiction of a real person.
What is the value of an US quarter with no date?
Not enough information. Is the date missing due to wear? If so, is the coin a Washington quarter or does it have an older design - Liberty standing on the front and a flying eagle on the back, or the head of Liberty on the front and a spread-eagle on the back? If it's a Washington quarter, look at the edge. If it shows copper then it's a modern quarter and is worth only 25 cents. If the edge is silver colored or it's one of the earlier designs you have a 90% silver coin that might sell for $2.50 or $3 for its metal content.
Where is the mint mark on a standing liberty quarter dollar?
The mint mark is located on the obverse (heads) side, just above the date and to the left of Liberty's legs. It was unusual for the mint mark to be on the front, as it was on the reverse of all other U.S. coins (except for Lincoln cents) until 1968.
