Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter Cull.

You can tell that it a 1917 type 1 by the roundness of the gown next to her right foot. Now if the gown was flatter indicating a 1916, even a cull would be worth some bucks.

Probably made to Italy in the pocket of a US soldier.

Just a bullion coin.

Worth the price of silver, thats about it.

@pan, there is some bullion trade here... I've bought a lot of Washington quarters that I feel -given the condition of the coins and the volume - were bullion trade...

I've only found about 20 barber and SLQs and only two (which I previously posted) warranted some numismatic value and likely were bought by collectors for their collections. Four others were in the album collections I bought last week...they have weak dates but were purposely put in an album - the album ended in the late 60s so I suspect someone put the album together on a trip(s) to the u.s. from largely low grade coins purchased or pocket change...but....who knows.

I imagine these culls traveled over in pockets and were lost, dropped, left in bags, or given to a relative as a souvenir. I doubt a contemporary (ie 1970-present) Italian collector went to the u.s. and brought this coin back as a numismatic token of their trip.
