If you search the forum, there were a couple of excellent threads recently showing some diagnostics for ID'ing a dateless 1916 SLQ. The one I remember most is the fold on the drapery across the extended arm, it should extend further out and below the top of the wall on a 1916.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Or the line in the drapery below libery's outreached arm, on the 1917's it doesn't extend past the stars on wall, on the 1916 it does- learned that one from this site as well! Stars on wall are also alot weaker on a 1916,if present at all on a coin like this one with this amount of wear.
