1917 S Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter VG/F Condition

The 1917-S Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter is a significant early issue in this beautifully designed series, created by sculptor Hermon A. MacNeil. Type 1 coins feature Liberty standing with a raised shield in her left hand and an olive branch in her right, symbolizing a strong but peaceful America. Most notably, this type includes a partially exposed Liberty, a design later modified in mid-1917 due to public controversy. The San Francisco Mint struck fewer than 1 million of these Type 1 quarters, adding scarcity to its artistic appeal.

Offered in Very Good to Fine (VG/F) condition, this circulated example retains a clear date and visible design elements, including Liberty's outline and portions of her shield. While showing moderate wear from circulation, the coin still holds its visual charm and historical importance. As a short-lived subtype with low mintage and West Coast origin, it’s a compelling addition to any U.S. quarter or early 20th-century coin collection.
