Obverse Description: MacNeil's Liberty stands, breast exposed, with one hand holding an olive branch, the other bearing a shield. A ribbon connects the branch to the shield. The world LIBERTY appears across the top periphery and the date is centered at the bottom. 13 stars appear to the side of Liberty. Mint mark, if any, is positioned above the date to the left of Liberty.
Reverse Description: An eagle in full flight, facing right, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above the great raptor. Stars flank the left and right peripheries with the words QUARTER DOLLAR at the bottom.
General Notes: The 1917-D Type 1 Quarter is a considerably more scarce than its counterpart from Philadelphia. Better date in circulated grades but not very difficult to locate up until the gem level. It is still accessible in MS65, with scarcity only in MS66 or finer. This issue is known to have a strong strike, quality luster and even some attractive toning.
