  Hi John,
  1916 and early 1917 quarters have no stars below the Eagle on the reverse (type 1 coins). Later in 1917 they came out with the type 2 which has 3 stars under the Eagle. So if you have a type 1 it must either be 1916 or early 1917. Type 2 would be late 1917 or later. Hope this helps.

  1916 the reed above liberty's head is cut in half to make room for her head.

  Also the 1916 gown fold that is directly above the "19" of the date is almost rectangular and the end of the gown points almost horizontal. On the 1917 Type 1, the gown fold above the "19" of the date is more rounded and the end of the gown points towards the R in LIBERTY. If you look at some pictures of known 1916's and 1917 Type 1's you'll see what I mean.

  It's a strike out guys. Stars below the eagle on both coins.
  
  But I darn sure appreciate the help.
