1917-S Standing Liberty Quarter Type-II VF
The 1917-S Standing Liberty Quarter represents a fascinating moment of design evolution in United States coinage. Struck in 90% fine silver at the San Francisco Mint, this coin belongs to the Type II variety, which introduced key modifications to both sides of the quarter during its second year of issue. On the obverse, Lady Liberty is depicted stepping forward through an open gate, holding an olive branch in one hand and a shield in the other. This side also features the date 1917 and the San Francisco mintmark, 'S'. The inscription 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is visible alongside the figure. The reverse displays a majestic eagle in full flight, flanked by the traditional Latin motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'. The legend 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and the denomination 'QUARTER DOLLAR' frame the soaring bird. Out of a total mintage of 5,552,000 for this specific issue, this coin survives in Very Fine condition, showing moderate wear but retaining clear details of Hermon MacNeil's celebrated artwork.
