1917 Type II Standing Liberty Quarter - VF+

Add a beautiful piece of early 20th-century American silver coinage to your collection with this 1917 Type II Standing Liberty Quarter in Very Fine+ (VF+) condition. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint from 90% silver and 10% copper, this historic quarter represents an important design transition within the Standing Liberty Quarter series, produced from 1916 through 1930. Designed by Hermon A. MacNeil, the obverse features Liberty standing between two pillars, holding a shield and olive branch to symbolize protection and peace. Introduced later in 1917, the Type II design features Liberty wearing protective chain mail, replacing the original exposed-breast design. The reverse was also modified, featuring a repositioned eagle in flight with three stars added beneath it. In Very Fine+ (VF+) condition, this coin exhibits moderate circulation wear while retaining attractive detail throughout Liberty's gown, shield, and surrounding design elements. The VF+ designation indicates slightly stronger detail than typically found in the standard Very Fine grade. Its first-year Type II design, appealing circulated condition, and 90% silver composition make this 1917 Standing Liberty Quarter an excellent addition to any Standing Liberty Quarter collection or classic U.S. silver type set.
