Dateless Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter

I used 2 ms65FH SL to compare to.there are 4 attributes that I can see,that differentiate the 1916 from 1917.one is the arm band,the 1916 is a single wrap around over the arm,and one curls,as the 1917 is a double.the 1916 has a slimmer waist.It is not very much. and3rd is where the wrap around touches the floor.

Oh yeah,the headband on a 1916 has a square end,the 1917 has a pointed end

 

update: I sent my dateless quarter in the original post to ANACS, and got my results online as a genuine problem free 1916 slq FR02. I'll post pics in slab when it gets here.:hail:

 

That's great!! Congrat's Johnny

 

Congrats Johnny!

 

I'm just posting this since I forget what I just looked at when I have to scroll down. It's just the same images posted earlier side by side.




Cringely Coin with really nice images linked earlier.

I'm sorry. I have to go along with the others. It looks like a mistaken attribution to me with ONLY the smaller inside bead on the right side of the head confusing things and that may be due to wear. I can't see a second hair to confirm a 1917, but that could also be due to wear.

All the other diagnostics appear to indicate 1917. You should take advantage of the guarantee. Nothing lasts forever.

Now if it was only my opinion, you could ignore it without much risk, but at a minimum, you have a coin which causes significant doubts about it's attribution.

 

Excellent! Have you tried to find any more from that eBay seller? I don't have the patience to look through all those images -- they have had a ton of those worn SLQs up recently.

 

thanks for all of your comments! Should be gettin it back tommorow.

I have been looking at them when I get a chance. I made one other terrific purchase in a lot of 40. I paid $190 for the lot about 6 weeks ago. There were 2 great coins in it. The first was an AU 1917 which I resold for $120. The second was a keeper(see photo). I then resold the remaining 38 in the lot for $130 all together. So I wound up with a VF+ 1921 and basically got paid to keep it! Happy day! Unfortunately now, folks are catching on to the value in these lots and are bidding heavy, so it's hard to find "steals" anymore, but I'll keep looking.

 

got her today! here she is in all of her fairness!

 

The location of the crease in the sash (under the forearm to the left of the vertical drape instead of crossing in front of it) is really the key differentiator. It's always puzzled me that none of the published identification guides seem to mention this. Anyway, it looks like yours is the real thing.

 

In person. He then compared it to a 1916 in AU condition to show me the diagnostics. For privacy reasons, I can't give the grader's name.
