Intaglio Mint 2-oz Silver 1917 Standing Liberty Quarter Type II Tribute Gem BU

Controversial Type II 1917 Standing Quarter Returns as a Stunning Silver Tribute Round

When the 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter was released, the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice was aghast at the “immorality” of the coin. You see, in classic style, one of Miss Liberty’s breasts was exposed! The guardians of prudery exerted political pressure, and the coin was quickly changed, creating a Type II version of the coin that appeared in 1917. As designed by sculptor Hermon Atkins MacNeil, the coin featured a design of Miss Liberty — now modestly covered — standing shield in hand and holding an olive branch on the obverse and a Bald Eagle flying in front of the sun on the reverse. The Type II version was struck for just 14 years from 1917 to 1930 and is today regarded as one of the most beautiful American coins ever struck.

Now you can pay homage to this iconic and controversial American coin thanks to this commemorative round released by the highly respected Intaglio Mint.
