Lot 207
1917-D Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. Type 1. NGC graded MS-63 Full Head. Crisp frosty, undisturbed mint luster that is nicely toned yet still shows gleaming originality. A well struck example of this beautifully designed Type. The standing Liberty quarter was "intended to typify in a measure the awakening interest of the country to its own protection," Mint Director von Engelken said at the time the coins first appeared early in 1917. Perhaps that admission was a bit of war propaganda since America stood on the brink of its own war declaration against the Axis Powers in the European War of 1914-18.
Estimated Value $250 - 300.
