RARE 1917-S STANDING LIBERTY QUARTER TYPE 1 | ANACS VF 25 | LOWER MINTAGE BETTER DATE

————

Offered here is an exceptional example of early American numismatic artistry—a 1917-S Standing Liberty Quarter Type 1, VAR 1, professionally graded ANACS VF 25. This coin represents one of the most historically significant and visually stunning designs in U.S. coinage HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

The 1917-S Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter holds a special place in American numismatics as part of the brief and controversial first-year design. Sculptor Hermon A. MacNeil created this iconic design featuring Liberty standing at the gateway to America, but public controversy over the exposed breast led to the Type 2 redesign mid-year. This makes the Type 1 issues highly collectible, with the 1917-S being one of only TWO years this design was produced (1916 and 1917).
