The M causes a lot of confusion. It's not a mint mark, it's the monogram of the coin's designer Hermon A MacNeil (and yes, he did spell his first name with an 'o')
The mint mark position is roughly symmetric on the pedestal on the other side of Miss Liberty:
No mint mark = Philadelphia
D = Denver
S = San Francisco
The M is not a mintmark but the monogram of the designer. See the related question below.
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.
If you have a U.S coin, M is probably the monogram of the designer. I can think of at least 2 such coins, the Morgan dollar designed by (drum roll, please) Morgan, and the standing liberty quarter designed by MacNeil.
The "M" isn't a mint mark. It's the initial of the designer H. MacNeil and it's on all Standing Liberty Quarters and most coins of this date have heavy wear and valued at $3.50-$7.00
The coin is so worn the date can't be seen, the "M" is the designers ( MacNeil ) initial and value is just for the silver, about $3.00
The 1927 Philadelphia issue Standing Liberty quarter is common, the "M" is the designer's initial. In average circulated condition the values are $8.00-$15.00.

Value depends on the date, mintmark and grade. The "M" is the designers monogram, it's on all the coins.

This type of quarter was designed by Hermon A. MacNeil. The M is MacNeil's initial.
To clear things up:> It's a Standing Liberty quarter. The Walking Liberty design was used on half dollars.> M is the initial of the designer, H. A. MacNiel. The mint mark position is on the opposite pillar next to Miss Liberty's foot.> A "walking head" would be pretty interesting, though anatomically impossible....Please see the Related Question.
The "M" is actually the designer's initials, the mintmark (if any) is found on the other edge on the left. No 1929 Standing Liberty Quarters are key dates, but high grade standing liberty quarters are worth a premium regardless of date. However, if your coin is worn, it is really only worth about $6-7 in silver melt.
All quarters minted up till 1930 had a picture of Miss Liberty. Please post a new question with the coin's date and whether it has a mint mark: > Standing Liberty design - to the left of Miss Liberty's foot (not the "M" on the right; that's the designer's monogram) > All others - on the back under the eagle or wreath.
