Description
In 1917, the Standing Liberty Quarter featured two distinct design types. The type I features Miss Liberty’s exposed right breast and flying eagle on the reverse hovering over an empty sky. The type II shows Miss Liberty’s upper frontal body covered in a chain mail and the reverse eagle flying over three stars. 1917 Standing Liberty quarters are popular with collectors for several reasons.
