1917-D Type 1 Quarter MS FH Values
Details
The 1917-D Type 1 Quarter is a good bit scarcer than its counterpart from Philadelphia. A very common issue to find with the Full Head designation, as striking is not a problem for this issue. It is only scarce in MS65 or finer. This issue is known to have a strong strike, quality luster and even some attractive toning.
Obverse: MacNeil's Liberty stands, breast exposed, with one hand holding an olive branch, the other bearing a shield. A ribbon connects the branch to the shield. The world LIBERTY appears across the top periphery and the date is centered at the bottom. 13 stars appear to the side of Liberty. Mint mark, if any, is positioned above the date to the left of Liberty.
Reverse: An eagle in full flight, facing right, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above the great raptor. Stars flank the left and right peripheries with the words QUARTER DOLLAR at the bottom.
