<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3552053, member: 101855&quot;]Standing Liberty Quarters are noted for being dateless coins. Most of those pieces were minted from the 1917 Type II through 1924. The dates were not protected, and on some coins the dates were weak from the time the coin was struck. When I was a dealer, I once had a 1920 quarter in MS-63 that had a date that was almost unreadable. The rest of the coin was fine, but the date was very weak.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are examples of the two date treatments. The so-called Type II quarter had an exposed date.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]943935[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]943936[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The Type III quarter has the recessed date, which fared better in circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]943937[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]943938[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
