sbrunsting16 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/13/2013 1:57 pm I have a dateless Standing Liberty quarter in my collection. I have done a lot of research regarding the differences between the 1916 and the 1917 SLQ, but I still cannot be certain of which one I have. I know for certain it is a Type 1 Philadelphia Mint (No stars below the eagle on the reverse side, and no mint mark.) From what I can tell, there is only 1 hair curl, but I am not certain about the other variables that differentiate the 1916 from the 1917. I know it has something to do with the gown near the ankle, and the beads near the top of her head. Obviously I would love for it to be the 1916, and because of this I fear this desire may influence my investigation. I need a clean pair of eyes to help guide me in the right direction. Thanks for all your help! Edited by sbrunsting16 08/13/2013 2:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sbrunsting16 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/13/2013 5:00 pm Thanks everyone for the replies. Is the coin still valuable as a 1917? Or is it just worth melt value? I really appreciate all the quick replies. Report this Post to the Staff
