1917 D Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter Extremely Fine to Almost Uncirculated Condition

The 1917-D Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter is a standout early issue from a short-lived and highly collectible design subtype. Struck at the Denver Mint, this coin features Hermon A. MacNeil’s original depiction of Liberty standing between a shield and an olive branch—symbolizing both defense and peace. Type 1 quarters are especially notable for Liberty’s exposed upper body, a feature later modified mid-year, making this version a key variety in the series.

Offered in Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated (XF/AU) condition, this example retains strong detail in Liberty’s figure, shield, and drapery lines, with just light wear on the highest points. Its sharp strike and attractive preservation highlight the artistry of the original design before it was altered. With a lower mintage and the added allure of the early Denver “D” mintmark, this coin is a prized addition for collectors of classic silver and transitional U.S. coinage.
