I am after a US quarter, standing liberty type, in average condition to fill a gap in my US collection. Does anyone have a spare? I have a few coins I can trade for it, I am happy to trade multiple coins for this one coin, I have all the others in the age range but just missing this one. Can anyone help?
Type 1 would only be 1916 and 1917, with 1916 being prohibitively expensive.
Type 2s were also minted in 1917 and continued through 1930, much more affordable.
There was also a sub-type of the type 2 from 1925-1930 which had the date recessed so the dates would not get rubbed off.

A boobie
There are also some smaller changes, some can be seen in the pictures.
There's also the stars. type 2 has 3 stars under the eagle and type 1 doesn't. type 2 has 5 stars on either side of the eagle, type 1 has 6 stars on either side.
