To set things straight:
> "M" is the monogram of the coin's designer. The US has never used an M mint mark. The mint mark position is on the other pedestal, in roughly the same place as the M. For a 1919 quarter it'll be blank, D, or S.
> Lady Liberty's image is on the front of the quarter, not the back, as is Washington's image on modern quarters.
The fact that your coin is damaged will unfortunately detract from its value, but without seeing it in person it's impossible to say how much. 1919 quarters are moderately scarce - even in G4, the lowest collectible grade, Philadelphia issues sell for about $30 and those from the other 2 mints in the $80-85 range. Your best bet would be an in-person, professional appraisal.
Prior to the Washington quarter (1932) all US 25-cent coins featured an image of Miss Liberty:1796-1807: A bust of Miss Liberty adorned with a drape1815-1837: A bust of Miss Liberty wearing a Liberty cap1838-1891: A figure of Miss Liberty seated and holding a Union shield1892-1916: A right-facing bust of Miss Liberty wearing a wreath in her hair1916-1930: A full-length image of Miss Liberty holding a shield and standing between two pillarsInterestingly, the Washington design was intended to be issued only for one year in honor of his bicentennial, but it proved to be so popular that the Mint decided to replace the prior design and adopt the Washington image permanently.
The previous design was called the Standing Liberty quarter because it had a picture of Miss Liberty standing in an opening of a stone wall.
1930 was the last year for a Standing Liberty quarter, with a date of 1941 it's a Washington quarter. Post new question.
All U.S. coins dated 1943 have the word LIBERTY on them, but no U.S. coin is called a "LIBERTY" coin. For 1943 the denominations are: Lincoln cents, Jefferson nickels, Mercury dimes, Washington quarters and Walking Liberty half dollars.
It's a common coin worth face value only. To clear things up, ALL US quarters have the word LIBERTY on them; these are normally called Washington quarters because like all quarters minted since 1932 they carry a picture of George Washington. Only those coins that actually carry a picture of Miss Liberty are usually called Liberty coins.
George Washington invented liberty and it is important because we should be free to choose our own paths in life, instead of having a king or government choose for us.
