  I say 1917 based primarily upon the shield detail.

  It's a 1917 based on the fold of the robe at the feet.

  Here is an excellent article which was posted on the forum recently and which helps distinguish 1916 examples from their 1917 counterparts.

  100% 1917. I am basing that on the first two images.

  Thanks for a fascinating article. As Dick Martin used to say in Rowan & Martin's Laugh-in:
  
  'I didn't know that'.

  It's absolutely a 1917.

  A type 1 1917 is still hardly "junk silver" is it? Numismedia shows it at $22 in G4.
  
  Using our host's Photograde I'd say yours is maybe FR02?

  I've heard reports from time to time of people bringing up the dates on these with silver etchant compounds, but I've also heard that's pretty toxic stuff.
