Add a distinctive piece of early 20th-century American silver coinage to your collection with this 1917-S Type I Standing Liberty Quarter in Fine (F) condition. Struck at the San Francisco Mint from 90% silver and 10% copper, this historic quarter features the original Standing Liberty design, introduced in 1916 and modified during 1917. Designed by Hermon A. MacNeil, the obverse depicts Liberty standing between two pillars, holding a shield and olive branch to symbolize protection and peace. The reverse features a majestic eagle in flight. The Type I design is distinguished by Liberty's exposed right breast and the absence of three stars beneath the eagle, features changed with the introduction of the Type II design later that year. In Fine (F) condition, this coin displays moderate circulation wear while retaining recognizable details in Liberty's gown, shield, and surrounding design elements. The “S” mintmark identifies its San Francisco Mint origin, adding appeal for collectors assembling complete date-and-mintmark sets. With an original mintage of approximately 1.95 million coins, the 1917-S Type I is a sought-after issue from the early Standing Liberty series. Its original design, San Francisco Mint heritage, and 90% silver composition make it an appealing addition to any Standing Liberty Quarter collection or classic U.S. silver type set.
