1917 Standing Liberty Quarter. Type I. MS-67 FH (PCGS). CAC. Crescents of reddish-orange are seen at the left borders and give way to softer olive-gold and pearl gray patina elsewhere on the obverse and reverse, respectively. Mint frost covers both sides and the surfaces are exceptionally well preserved. More than 8.7 million of the 1917 Type I quarters were struck in the second year of the Standing Liberty series. The Type I examples were exceptionally well produced, showing sharp definition to Libertys head and the shield, as here. Adding to this issues desirability for type purposes is the fact that many Mint State coins were saved as the first examples of the new design For the type or date collector who seeks the best, this Superb Gem is sure to please.
