Design
Same Liberty head as the dime and half; reverse heraldic eagle. 1916-D is a tiny last-year issue.
History
Workhorse silver of McKinley-to-Wilson America. 1896-S, 1901-S, and 1913-S are the three keys — 1901-S is the toughest. Full-head is not a published strike designation here the way it is on Standing Liberty, but sharp stars and eagle feathers separate gems from sliders.
