I am in the UK and have only Krause to cover US coins. I recently discovered this in a job lot of "foreign" coins bought locally at auction. (Searching through these lots is one of my greatest pleasures - sad I know!) In Krause these seem to have a decent value but I would love confirmation of what you think and also a US grade? I am OK with the European grading system but never sure of the US way... Thanks
If it's authentic, based on images and my poor vision, I'd estimate it to be EF45 grade, with an approximate value of $75-$125. I've researched other venues to ascertain grade and pricing. JMHO Enjoy!! Rich
It looks to be around VF. I'm not strong in grading standing liberty quarters.. If vf-30 it would be worth around 100 dollars give or take 20.
For a 99 year old coin being banged around in a lot of other coins she in great shape. The 1917 SLQ ' S seemed to been struck well. Case in point look over there <<<<<<<< The picture to the left is one 1917 I purchased about a month ago. .looking at your coin it's very close to a full head from your images. I would consider it between a high vf -xf slider. Due to the hits on the rim. There's plenty of meat on the bone with this coin. Considering most circulated quarters from this era are worn ed smooth. Nice specimen .
I'll let you be the judge of your coin relative to the linked PCGS XF45 coin, which has hits on the rim and devices, incomplete cross-drape/shield/shield-center, less detail in head?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1917-D-PCGS...273452?hash=item3603c1e7ec:g:ODwAAOSwqrtWo~De Grades are determined by strike/wear, not mm. JMHO
Thanks for that - very useful. It does seem the one you provided a link to is being a bit hopeful! From what I can see on E**y around the USD 100 mark would be more appropriate.
I would say around there. Its a popular type. The type changed later this year to the Type II, so the only way to get a Type I is this coin or the horrifically rare 1916 issue.
I don't collect US anymore but still like the type. When it came out of circulation in the 50's I suspected some kid slipped it out of dad's collection for a hot time at the movies (this would buy two tickets and one popcorn where I lived back then). Given current prices for movies and popcorn, things have not changed all that much. After all, the quarters like this I found in G, got spent at those same movies.
I told myself I wasn't gonna start collecting Standing Liberty quarters because there's a few that I know are difficult to find without spending a large sum of money. But yours is above nice. I don't think there is any of us who wouldn't appreciate such a fine example.
