Lot Description

Stunning brilliant and frosty surfaces are front and center on this exceptional Superb Gem. Boldly struck and impressively preserved. Over 8.7 million of the 1917 Type I Standing Liberty quarters were struck in the second year of the series, combing with the Type II's to total over 22.5 million quarters struck in Philadelphia that year. The Type I examples were very well produced, however preservation still becomes an issue above Gem and at the Superb Gem level examples are surprisingly scarce.
