Standing Liberty quarters are very dependent on grade. 1930 is a common date and if worn is only worth about $5-6 in silver scrap. But if uncirculated your coin can be worth $75+ depending on how many scratches/bag marks it has.
Most likely it is just a bullion piece worth 1 troy ounce of silver. Right now it is about $30 or so, but the price of silver rises and falls depending on the minute.

Most sell for a couple dollars over the spot price of silver (currently around $18-$20) but a few specific dates have a numismatic premium. There are also proof coins that command a higher price.

Uh, the "man" is Miss Liberty. Your coin is a 1 oz silver bullion piece sold for its metal content and not for spending. Its value will change every day and is slightly above the price of one ounce of silver. You can check the business section of a newspaper or a site such as kitco.com for current values.
The Walking Liberty Dollar, better known as a Silver Eagle is a US bullion coin. On the obverse (heads) it features a woman personifying liberty, in her hand she has an olive branch and her other hand is outstretched to the sun. Flowing in front of her is an American flag. This is the same obverse (heads) design that was used on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. On the reverse (tails) it features an eagle with its wings spread, olive branches grasped in one foot and arrows in another with stars above it. It says above the stars "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and below it "1 OZ. FINE SILVER ~ ONE DOLLAR". They are worth generally the price of silver in the coin (with usually a dollar or two added because of the fact it is a coin) which is always higher than the one dollar face value.
The coin is still in circulation today, has no silver and is face value only. The coin is a Kennedy half dollar. The word LIBERTY appears on all U.S. coins.
there is only one star on the statue of liberty
