1916 or 1917 SLQ

[Jazdo]

Here is a Quarter found by my Father in law. Back when he worked construction they had been part of a destruction team using heavy equipment demolishing a house. Whoever was running the backhoe ripped its claw through a wall and busted open some glass jars hidden.

My Father in law said the two other guys got most of the loot,but he managed to get a jar that its contents were broken.

Anyhow this Standing Lib. Quarter stood out to me like none other when I saw it. Not sure if it's the rare one. To hard to tell even with magnifier.

Looks like a 1917 to me. I can clearly see the tail of the 7 in your picture.

Check out this link, it will tell you everything you need to know to identify the famous 1916 vs the 1917 SLQ. I have found a few coins in the dealer bin for 2.00 that I thought would be a 1916. Anacs will grade it the 1916 if it meets the die variety of the 1916. Your coin if it was a 1916 would grade AG-3 believe it or not.

After checking this article, it appears to me that yours is a 17. Still nice to have, though.

Yeah I would say it's the 1917. Aside from the date the links info preety much settles it. A clear line above
her head. etc..

Appreciate the help.

Incidentally my father in laws jar contained 15 walk lib halves,two franklins,5 SLQ's,6 buffalo nickels,and
30 some Merc dimes. Not a bad haul for him.

I'm gonna get permission to hunt the property where they tore down the house this spring. Never know what might be found !

The leg is one of the easiest ways to see this error. The way it is shaped is the way to tell. Good Luck
