These coins were certified by the Professional Coin Grading Service, which was established in 1986. Along with the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, PCGS is considered one of the most trusted third-party grading services among coin collectors. For the “Full Head” designation on Standing Liberty Quarters, PCGS requires that there be a “distinct separation” between Liberty’s hair strands and laurel wreath.

Each 1917 Standing Liberty Quarter was produced with 90% silver by the United States Mint. The coins were sent to PCGS for grading, where they received a strong grade of Mint State 66 along with their Full Head designation. Upon arrival, you will find your coin housed in a protective slab with a label bearing the official grading information.

The obverse of these Silver Standing Liberty Quarters features Miss Liberty holding an olive branch and a shield. She is shown in a standing position with her head facing to the East in reference to WWI and the peace America was striving to achieve.

On the reverse of the Standing Liberty Quarter, a bald eagle is shown in flight. This majestic creature is the national bird of the United States and an important symbol of her values. In this design, the bird flies towards the right with its wings spread wide. Inscriptions on the reverse read United States of America, E Pluribus Unum, Quarter Dollar.
