Trying to nail down this quarter. Obverse looks like type 1 1917-s 25 cents but reverse is type 2. It came in a collection with obvious fakes but this one looks more authentic to me. Curious what those of you with more experience think. Thank you.

    It doesn't look like a Type I obverse to me. Why do you think it looks like a Type I?

    Looks like a type 2. Why do you think it looks like a type 1.

    It looks like a type two obverse and reverse.

    Are we still talking about coins?

    @Numismaphile As stated above, the coin is a T2. Perhaps because the chain mail is worn and the breast looks exposed, you thought it was a T1. There are other indicators, the branch leaf through L in Liberty, and the number of dots on the shield that clearly show it to be a T1. Hope this helps. I'm not an expert by any means, but your coin has some hints of luster remaining and looks authentic to me. Hope this helps.

    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    I guess I was imagining more breast than the rest of the world sees. Nothing new in that. Thank you for all your responses!

    Really, all I thought was that she was showing more cleavage than a 1918 girl would reveal. What else can I say, except that when I turned the coin around to get a good look from behind all I saw was this eagle.
