David Hall:
The 1917 Type 2 Standing Liberty quarter is one of the most common of the 1917 to 1924 Standing Liberty quarters. But it should be noted that the early 1917-1924 dates are much rarer in all grades than the later 1925-1930 dates. The majority of mint state examples have fully struck heads and they out-number the non-full heads about two to one. The 1917 Type 2 usually has white soft luster and many examples have varying degrees of original toning.
