Is this a 1916 or 1917 SLQ?

    1917 the rivets on the shield are WAYYYYY to well defined to be a 1916

    The rivets on the shield are the giveaway. It's a 1917.

    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.

    1917, I find the easiest way to tell is the drapery by the ankle.

    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.
