I was browsing the PCGS Set Registry, and came across this coin. I had to stare at it for about ten minutes because I have never seen an SLQ with that kind of detail! WOW!

It belongs to Doug B. I just wanted to post in here because it deserves admiration! image

    The 1917-P Type One Standing Liberty Quarters generally come well struck... here's a PCGS AU58 I used to own.

    I collect all 20th century series except gold including those series that ended there.

    It is a shame that Herman MacNeil (the designer) found it necessary to modify the Standing Liberty Quarter design after many of the problems associated with striking these coins were mostly solved. According to Roger Burdette in his master work, Renaissance of American Coinage 1916-1921, MacNeil changed the design because of America's involvement in World War I. MacNeil wanted Ms. Liberty to look like she was armed for war and covered her chest with chain mail. It had nothing to do with prudery, which has long been the excuse given for the change.

    The metal flow was never right for the coin after MacNeil changed it. There was in improvement in 1925 when the date was recessed which resulted in stronger strikes in the date area and protected the date more from wear, but other features of the coin remained difficult to strike.

    The 1917 Type I Standing Liberty Quarter is a wonderful piece because it is the only issue in which this beautiful design was consistently executed properly. Still collectors should bear in mind that these coins do come nice, and should not be drawn into paying huge premiums for them.

    Mine is a 65FH.
    I am afraid that I like the 64 better!

    Some Early strikes from fresh dies almost seem like special or specimen strikings in some cases. What a beautiful coin -- buffnixx
