Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 05/12/2017 7:12 pm I haven't been schooled by the more experienced people in a while, so here's an inquiry for you. A local auctioneer has a lot of no date Standing Liberty quarters. I haven't seen the coins in hand, and they only have obverse images, but I did spot one Type 1. I did my research, and I'm pretty sure it's a 1917 -- the odds also suggest it wouldn't be the rare 1916 -- but I'd appreciate a set of eyes. Apologies for the image quality, but it's the best they've got. Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 05/12/2017 8:13 pm Cool to find Druu - I read somewhere on CCF about how someone can get the date to appear using "nick-a-date" but to me then the coin is ruined. But if you can't read the date then hard decision - always worth silver content if nothing else. Report this Post to the Staff
Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 05/12/2017 8:47 pm Thanks for the feedback, guys. January, could you elaborate? Do you mean the area below IN GOD WE TRUST? The reference I used last night was: (052) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com/identify1916standingquarter.html I couldn't use the drapery due to the condition of the coin, so the curve of the drapery to the left of Liberty's foot was my sole pick up point. Mark, if everyone bids on this like junk, I hope to get the lot for around spot. No need to chemically treat it to try to raise a date when the die markers are enough to make a determination! Looking like a PO1 lowball, huh? Report this Post to the Staff
RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 5:47 pm It is a 1917 T1. Does not have any of the pick up points of a 1916. armband, drapery and foot to pedestal all indicate 1917, the other areas are to blurry. Report this Post to the Staff

Yes - IIRC the rectangles there are a lot deeper on 1917 than on 1916, so if it's that worn and the rectangles are still clear, it's an 1917. I might be misremembering, however.
