[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 4552369, member: 77413"]The first year of the Type II Standing Liberty Quarters. Three stars were moved under the eagle to make it more central to the reverse. Numerous changes were made to the front, such as moving the olive branch so it no longer overlaps the lettering. There are fewer rivets on the shield; most folks tend to emphasize the clothing of Lady Liberty with chain mail as a pretty big deal. I like the weakly struck date on this one. Although they wore away quickly on both Type I and II SLQ’s, this particular example makes matters worse by having weak strike pressure on the date, the chain denticles from 3:00 to 7:00 positions of the obverse, and weakness on the tops of the UNITED STATES on the reverse. It’s easy to imagine the date disappearing completely with only light circulation. [ATTACH=full]1127135[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1127139[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1127144[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
