1917 Type II Standing Liberty Quarter - F

Add a classic piece of early 20th-century American silver coinage to your collection with this 1917 Type II Standing Liberty Quarter in Fine (F) 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 a protective coat of chain mail, replacing the original exposed-breast design. The reverse was also modified, with the eagle repositioned and three stars added beneath it. In Fine (F) condition, this coin exhibits moderate circulation wear while retaining recognizable details in Liberty's gown, shield, and surrounding design elements. Its readable date and classic design offer a tangible connection to American history during the World War I era. Its first-year Type II design, historical significance, and 90% silver composition make this 1917 Standing Liberty Quarter an appealing addition to any Standing Liberty Quarter collection or classic U.S. silver type set.
