    I am thinking this is type 2 but not sure. Can you tell if this quarter is type 1 or type 2? 1917standing.jpg

    Oh OK the type one doesn't have 3 stars below the eagle and type 2 does. Looks like this is type 1.

    I believe with personal research you'll determine why viewing the reverse isn't necessary.

    JMHO

    The head has differences as well, even when well-worn. Type-1s have a tail-like cap, or spike to the rear of the head/hair...maybe it's a cap but spiked in back...where Type-2 has a rounded, bun-like hairstyle or cap (no spike to rear). Also, for the Type-1 that isn't worn too much to tell, there's an x-rated (bare) breast exposed...where on the Type-2 and for all subsequent issue-years, it's covered by a garment. Think the 1916 and 1917 Type-1 was the only U.S. coin ever with that distinction(?). There were several paper bills, however. As always, going by fading memory so will stand corrected.
