Collectors building a Standing Liberty series will appreciate this 1917 Type 1 quarter as they fill out an early date run. It slots neatly into a type set where the focus stays on the initial design before later modifications arrived. Hermon MacNeil’s Standing Liberty appears on the obverse with a flying eagle reverse.

The coin is struck in silver at 90% silver and 10% copper, weighing 0.18084 troy ounces, and belongs to an artistic early twentieth-century quarter admired for its bold Liberty figure. Type-set demand keeps interest high, while key-date pressure from issues such as the 1916 and 1918/7-S adds to the appeal alongside straightforward bullion value for those assembling sets or stacks.
