    What are the differences between the 1916 and 1917 Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarters? Is there a site that lists these? Where can I find LARGE pictures of each coin? Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Forum travelbooker !!

    Rather than try to explain - I'll just let you read it. Pics are there too ;)

    To my knowledge, there are 2 ways to tell the difference between a 1916 and a 1917 Ty.1 SLQ :

    1) On a 1916, Liberty's head goes right into the edge beading -- on a 1917 it is just below it.

    2) The bottom dress folds are slightly different between the two dates.

    I hope this helps,
