1917-s type 2 SLQ some help on grade

Bought this at an indoor flea market near where i live in MA and i was just drawn to it for some reason although the tone is neutral at best lol but either way i liked the look personally. Now mostly i need some standing lib people to chime in and help with the grade. To me i thought au58 but i am quite a novice to the series. Could anyone give me their opinion on its grade? Also it seems the strike is better than others i have seen but i cant be certain about the full head thing. Would this be a full head strike? Thanks in advance ladies and gents!

ms 62-3+

 

Really.. U think that high? I thought the leg had some wear but its tough to distinguish for me in this series. It definitley has full luster thats for sure

 

Do you think this is full head designation worthy?

 

I have to say I lean toward 62 but the toning constricts the image
and the general overall ness 62 maybe 63

 

No way that coin is mint state. I say XF40.

 

nice.. AU 58 minimum.
possibly MS

 

Front has a lot of worn areas, marks and nicks. I say the front appears to be XF40.

The coin's reverse is in better condition. Going mostly off the detail of the eagles feathers, I would say reverse exhibits XF45 to Au50.

 

Look at reverse comparison with MS62...

 

Now the obverse compared to MS62. Not even close.

*The photograde example is between 1917 Type 1 and Type 2. So their will be differences in the design. I'm only using the example for comparing the details.

 

I'd go conservative at AU-58. There appears to be either slight wear or just a weak strike (ie shield weakness at 8 o'clock). The head is very nice, but I'm not sure whether "full head" can be designated on less than MS grades.

Regardless, it's a nice coin with great detail, although I don't like the toning personally.

 

Yea i was wondering if i should dip. Plenty luster so may help. Id hate to make worse though. Endeavor this is a pcgs graded xf40

 

I appreciate your opinion but if you search for xf sl quarters there is no comparison

 

Mr flute thanks for full head response i think ur right it may have to be ms for designation

 

No chance that is an XF.

No how, no way.

 

Yeaa thats what i think too. Now i like conservative graders but thats like saying its a vg

 

sounds about right

 

This is the xf from photograde

 

The coin in the OP is a choice AU all-day, every-day.
