This is one of the ways I feel I've learned something on this website. I've been collecting since the early 80's and never really knew the difference in a 1916 vs a 1917 until I saw this same info that Moe posted in an earlier thread. The other day I was looking through some no date SLQ's at my local coin shop and saw a T1, which I easily diagnosed as a 1917. It's amazing the depth of knowledge here...

Now advertising a 1917 as a 1916 is an obvious fraud. Or ignorance. Or wishful thinking. |

The seller has been on ebay since 1998 and has seven thousand Feedbacks from coin sales. It's difficult for me to imagine such a seller not knowing the coin, but possible I guess. |

Ignorance or not, ebay policy says you have to refund seller if item not as described. 1917 is not as described. |

At a coin show last weekend a dealer had an Album of Standing Liberty quarters complete for sale. All were in a minimum of AU. I was afraid to even ask the price. |

so sad. that one should have been reported and removed before sale. I have owned a few dateless 16s, and that one was definitely a 17. Glad my coin pics still serve some purpose for identification.

no offense takin' I figured you were just busting my chops somehow,
but I didn't look at the listing that close. good one
Point is, for all on this site, It (the 1916 no date SLQ) is not really a tough diagnostic.
Certainly sellers of the coin should know and be suspect if misrepresenting IMO
