The "key" to this short-lived series is the 1916, thanks to its low mintage of only 52,000 coins.

Adding design changed from type 2a to type 2b in 1925. Date was recessed to help prevent wearing. Thanks, Doug.

Thanks Coop for the difference pictorals. Been wondering just what those fine points were, knew the "stars" trick of the reverses, but not the date references. Much needed reference!

So the images were from ebay on the circulated quarters saying they are 16 or 17. So what are they for sure? Let's see if you know?

All three example pix are 1917 T-1's I think. Hair tail sharp(thin), rivets solid and no stars below eagle on reverse. Did I get that right?

Correct. The rivets were my first clue.

So I have these three heavily worn quarters, one from each mint, from what I have picked up on this informative thread I can see that they are all 1917 T1's.

Thanks, that's great information! The head position and strength of the rivets are especially helpful. Here's a dateless 1916 SLQ for comparison:

The head is touching the rim. The hair "tail" is also wider than the 1917 Type I.

So the thread helps. Thanks. Also the rivets are weak so with the type 1 reverse, we've nailed it.
