Introduction to the 1917-S Quarter

The 1917-S Standing Liberty Quarter Type 2 is a stunning piece of numismatic history. Known for its intricate design and limited mintage of just 5,552,000 coins, this quarter garners attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike. Originally acquired at a club auction, I was excited to add this coin to my collection.

Unexpected Grading Outcomes

Despite being touted as an MS62, the coin was later graded by NGC as cleaned and AU details. This unexpected evaluation came as a surprise to me, as I couldn’t identify any signs of cleaning. Nevertheless, I learned that grading can often reveal aspects that are not immediately visible to the untrained eye.

Reasonably Priced Listing

Faced with the situation, I am now listing the coin for the price I originally paid and accepting the loss on the grading. For enthusiasts looking to acquire a rare coin, the 1917-S Standing Liberty Quarter Type 2 remains an excellent opportunity.
