Type collectors know this coin never goes out of demand—the 1917-D Standing Liberty Quarter Type 1 is a worthwhile addition to any set. Struck at the Denver Mint, it belongs to a series that continues to draw steady interest from those assembling representative examples of early twentieth-century quarters. Hermon MacNeil’s Standing Liberty appears on the obverse with the flying eagle reverse.
The piece is struck in silver with a composition of 90% silver and 10% copper, weighing 0.18084 troy ounces, so it carries tangible value beyond its face denomination. Collectors pursue Standing Liberty Quarters as favorite type coins, drawn to the series’ bold artistic figure and the chance to include key dates such as the 1916 and 1918/7-S alongside more accessible issues like this one.
