<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 21921049, member: 101855&quot;]The one on the left is a 1917 Type 1. Almost all of those coins are well struck. After that success, Herman McNeil decided the mess with the design, which made it harder to strike and doomed it to an early retirement. Roger Burdette said it was because he wanted to dress Miss Liberty in armor in preparation for World War I. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the other two types. Both of these coins have the &quot;Full Head&quot; designation. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1543832[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The date was vulnerable to wear on this type. The mint also sometimes did a poor job at striking it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1543833[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The date was placed in a more recessed area starting in 1925 where it bared up better in circulation. These coins were also well struck more often. </p><p><br /></p><p>Both of these coins are in MS-65, Full Struck holders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
