What is standing liberty quarter 1917?

The Standing Liberty Quarter was minted by the United States Mint between 1916 and 1930. The design of the quarter was created by Hermon Atkins MacNeil and features the figure of Liberty holding a shield and an olive branch. The initial design was criticized for displaying too much of Liberty's bare chest and was later modified to cover up the exposed area.

The 1917 edition of the Standing Liberty Quarter features the same design as the previous year's release but with some minor changes. The most notable difference is the addition of the word "IN GOD WE TRUST" above the eagle on the reverse side of the coin.

There were two different versions of the Standing Liberty Quarter released in 1917, a Type 1 with a bare-breasted Liberty and no stars beneath the eagle, and a modified Type 2 with a covered-up Liberty and the stars added underneath the eagle. The Type 1 version is considered to be rarer and more valuable to collectors.

The 1917 Standing Liberty Quarter has a weight of 6.25 grams and a diameter of 24.3mm. It was minted in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco with varying mint marks.
