1917-P Type 2 Standing Liberty Quarter - 90% Silver Better Grade Key Date Fr Shp

Description

This auction is for one 1917-P
Type 2
Standing
Liberty 90% Silver Quarter.
There were two major varieties of the 1917 Standing Liberty.
Obverse Varieties: The difference between the Type 1 vs Type 2 Obverse can be identified by viewing the breasts of the standing liberty portrait. Type 1 features bare-breasts which offended people of the time and forced a new Type 2 obverse to be designed. The new
Type 2
obverse features liberty wearing chain mail instead.
Reverse Varieties: The difference between the Type 1 vs Type 2 Reverse can be identified by viewing the placement of the stars around the eagle. Type 1 features 7 stars on the left side and 6 stars on the left with none below the eagle. The newer
Type 2
reverse features 5 stars on each side of the eagle and 3 stars below the eagle - making the eagle aligned higher up on the coin.
Please see the pictures to determine the condition.
This is the exact coin you will receive.
I cannot and do not vouch for the notations on the 2 x 2 holders, except to say that they were written by my father and he knew his stuff.
The coin has been stored in a smoke-free and pet-free home.
