<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steamandlight, post: 2801021, member: 56876&quot;]As CoinBreaux states, both 1916 and (some) 1917 lack the stars. ALL of these type 1 quarters are worth picking up if you see them in a junk silver bucket, because even the 1917 type 1 is worth at least $10-$15 dateless. But of course, the 1916 is the real prize.</p><p><br /></p><p>The hair curl is different between the 2, but if it is worn dateless it is going to be very hard to tell the difference. The very best indicator in a low grade example is the bottom of the robe on the left side of the quarter, the fold there has a thinner opening, and doesn&#039;t come down quite as far. On the 1917, it has a significantly larger opening, and goes down closer to the date. Also, on her foot on the right side of the coin, her big toe is significantly bigger on the 1916.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know these seem like tiny differences, easily mistaken, but once you see a couple of examples in hand, you quickly get a feel for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Side note - because the difference is subtle, when looking at ebay sold right now, I see 1, maybe 2 1916 dateless quarters that sold for under $10.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
