Sweet

Try this one. It's a little tougher to read the date (start on the reverse at 12:00 and read to the right). [GERMANY, Aachen (Stadt). AR Groschen (24mm, 1.90 g, 10h). Dated 1420 in mixed spelled-out and Roman numerals. · SCS : KΛROL : mΛ G : IPЄRΛTO’ * (double annulet stops), crowned half-length bust of Karl der Große (Charlemagne) facing slightly right, wearing mantum and holding city model and imperial orb; coat-of-arms below / + ΛnnO : DOmInI : mILЄSImO : CCCC : XX/+ MOnЄTΛ : VRB : ΛQVS’ (double annulet stops), small cross pattée. Levinson I-15. Good VF, toned. Well struck. CNG photos and description.]

Beautiful quarter. 

[Henri Charriere]

@Walkerfan Ah, just the right person to ask...  As you may know I got a beat down and emerged battered and bruised over a life-threatening matter: rivets.  That's right, rivets. As in those regularly-spaced protrusions on Lady Liberty's hand-held shield.  Would you be able to tell me beginning in what year did the problem of "missing" rivets arise and why?  I am, of course, referring to coins like yours in Mint State condition and not the lower grades where wear would be a factor.

(Very lovely quarter 🍒 with an enviably low certification number.)

1917 type 2 design. They changed the type 1 during the year over public uproar over bare breasted Liberty. Type 2 added chain mail, and changed the stars on the reverse. Type 1 tended to be sharp and well defined, type 2 have consistent strike issues notably the rivets in the shield and and liberties head.

I concur with this.    May I add softness of date, as well, for the weaker struck pieces.  Attempts were made in 1925 with a 'recessed date' design but it was only marginally effective.  Also, I find that branch mints (D & S) tend to be weaker among type 2 and 3 varieties.
