About this product

Product Information

<h2>David Hall</h2><p>The 1917 Standing Liberty quarter is one of the classic type coin issues of the 20th century. The type design was only minted in two years, 1916 and 1917. The design was very beautiful, one of the most striking of any U.S. coin. However, Ms. Liberty's right breast was fully exposed and this caused quite an uproar at the time. In fact, the &quot;Society for the Suppression of Vice&quot; not only began to pressure the Treasury to stop minting this &quot;immoral&quot; coin, they also wanted the goverment to recall all the coins already in circulation (I'm not kidding!)&nbsp;The mint struck and released into circulation 55,230,000 coins before production of the Type I design was stopped midway through the year. The new design featured the upper torso of Ms. Liberty covered by medieval chain mail!</p><p>The 1917 Type I quarter is rarer in circulated grades than the later date (1925-1930) Standing Liberty quarters, but mint state examples are readily available. Or are they? Here's an interesting story.&nbsp;In the early 1970s, Jim Ruddy and Dave Bowers were doing a project in which they were putting together complete sets of Choice Uncirculated 20th century type coins. They would later very successfully market quite a few sets. Even though this set also included the Barber half dollar, quarter, and dime, Jim Ruddy had told me at the time that he would buy any Choice Unc.Type I Standing Liberty quarter&nbsp;I could find for him, as it was the coin he was having the most trouble finding for the sets he was building.</p><p>Most mint state Standing Liberty quarters have fully struck heads, something that cannot be said about the 1916. When PCGS first started , for the first few years we only designated &quot;full head&quot; on Type 2 Standing Liberty quarters as &quot;all Type Is have full heads.&quot; But they don't all have full heads, especially the 1916, so we soon added the &quot;full head&quot; designation for Type Is also. Luster for Type Is can be satiny or frosty white. There are many examples with various degrees of toning.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

    Key Date & Type Standing LIberty Quarters

    If you're old enough to remember these in your pocket change, you oughta love one of these! The 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter is the introductory coin following the Barber Quarter series, but it's outrageously rare & expensive - but the 1917 year brings us affordable key examples of both Type 1 Raised Mound reverse, and Type 2 Flat Ground reverse. Get one each in good enough condition to clearly read their dates, and your U.S. Type Coin Collection wiil benefit in greatly added interest and value.
