Sorry for the poor quality of pictures. Hoping someone could tell me if I've got a Type 1 or Type 2. Purchased with a bunch of other low-grade SLQ's for melt (All others had dates).
Haha, didn't know there was such an obvious difference. I was thinking it was the subtle difference in the length of the drapes and their relation to the ankle. I now realize that that's the difference between a 1916 and 1917. Thanks for your help.
Quote: Type 2, so your coin was minted in the 1917-1924 range.
The 1925s and beyond were minted with a recessed date (that keeps the date normally visible even with a bunch of wear) versus a pedestal date (1917-1924) that had the date wearing off fairly rapidly.
