Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 12/09/2010 2:08 pm Uh-oh. Genuine 1916's have no stars under the eagle. The stars started appearing from 1917 on. Edited by Scooby Due 12/09/2010 2:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 12/09/2010 2:15 pm Wow those quarters are a hot mess. The first looks like a 1917 VAR 1. The other ones look like 1917 VAR 2 or 1918+ based on the indent on the gown to the left of the foot. Hard to say for sure in that condition, however. Need someone who knows that date cold. Can you post pics of the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff
nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 12/09/2010 2:16 pm Looks like bad news :( Three of those are type 2 Standing Liberty quarters, which were made from 1917-1930. The type 1 you do have appears to be a 1917. It is possible to differentiate a 1916 and a 1917 type one by a few small differences. the 1916 hair will not have a second fainter line above the ponytail, yours does. The shield on the 1916 had much weaker rivets then the 1917 and would be faint on a coin in this grade, and your coin has very distinct rivets on the shield.
