Is this a dateless 1916 SLQ?

I was browsing ebay looking at bullion in the quarters category and spotted one lot of SLQ's that had a single coin that lacked the 3 stars in the sellers scan .

It was a decent scan and the bottom of the gown looked different from a 1917 that I had so I bought the listing.

I scanned it when it showed up today. I've never owned a 1916 or had one in hand to look closely at , does it look good?

    Instant no due to the strength of the rivets on the shield. Sorry.

    No, it's a 17 Type 1.

    In hand the difference I thought I saw in the gown by the ankle is due to more wear than on the 1917 I was comparing it to. The 1917 I had to compare with has a date so it makes sense that wearing the date away would also affect the gown.

    Like they said, definitely a 1917 Type 1. The hair curl behind the head, the lower curve
    of the drapery, and Liberty's big toe are all correct for a 1917. Sorry.

    Add me to the "no" camp, unfortunately. It's a 1917 T1.

    don't look at the drapery folds, look at the rivets in the shield, the drapery folds can be confusing, while the rivets are either weak or strong

    ...not to sound confrontational, but me never heard of the rivets reference. image

    I would think the rivets could get worn too and thus would bogus-side (I made this word up) the marker. image

    Tahoe I don't think you're being confrontational at all. It's not a question of wear, but of strength of the rivets on the original design. You can see on this PCGS MS66 from Coin Facts that the rivets weren't nearly as well defined on the 1916 regardless of condition. If they appear as well defined on a worn specimen such as the OP's coin, it's clearly a 1917.

    No, the bottom of the fold of Ms. Liberty's skirt on the left side does not have the right shape. You have a 1917 Type I quarter.
