This is 1917 Type 2 quarter. I would consider updating the title to reflect this important variety distinction.
I think it grades au58fh. It has both a full head and full rivets. The luster is not booming, as I would expect for a mint state coin, and shows some breaks in the obverse and especially in the reverse fields. The hairline is well defined, and all 16 rivets on the shield are nicely struck. Very attractive example.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

AU-53. Not full head. Rivets are sharp but that does not automatically mean FH.
No indication of cleaning.
A lovely example with good eye appeal.

Pics are not the greatest - nice coin, certainly not less than 53.

Thanks to everyone for the continued grading opinions. Quote:
Pics are not the greatest Understood. Overcast here for two days and I had to use the camera flash. No dedicated lighting yet for my setup and I usually use natural light from the window. Best I could do on short notice and the coin was only in my possession for a short time. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

No problem. It's a beauty, clearly. If you ever get better pics, we'd like to see them!  |

Ha! Crazy, you'll have to talk to the owner. I'm just the amateur appraiser...
Coin is already back home along with a half dozen CC Morgans. I was amazed at the coins this girl has!
