PCGS Number: 5717 Coin Date: 1917-D Denomination (Short): 25c Denomination (Long): 25 Cents Variety: Type 2 Desg: MS Mint Mark: D Composition: 90% silver; 10% copper Mintage: 6,224,400 Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Standing Liberty quarter Coinage Years: 1917-1930 Mint Location: Denver Diameter: 24.3 Fineness: 0.9 Weight (Grams): 6.25 Weight (Ounces): 0.2009 Designer: Herman A. MacNeil Edge: Reeded Obverse Description: MacNeil's Liberty stands 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 Type 2 1917-D Quarter is a scarcer date in its series and one of the most rare among circulated grades. Scarcity begins at the gem level and true rarity in MS66. MS67 and finer are Full Head rarities. This issue comes with quality luster with some examples having beautiful toning. Striking can be a problem with this issue; which makes it an even better date in Full Head.
