My only one. 64FH

 

My lone SLQ

 

This was once my favorite but I have watched it grow darker over many years.
These are new images by @messydesk He nailed the true look of the coin.
It once had much brighter color and you could see the luster a bit better.

 

Get ready... My only SLQ and I paid out the wazoo for this bad boy.

It's a type 6 with heavy recoil located at the Slippert box. At the 16 O'clock there is a extra half slide. And you can see massive refill along the entire rail guard.


I paid $7.50 ha

 

GASP!

 

This is what you have when the Slippert recoil is readjusted.

 

so many dateless ones prior to 1925, although the mint marks survive - is there a method to 'raise' a worn off date a la buffalo nickels? I understand that due to different metals, the nickel trick doesn't work on silver - maybe something else ?

 

lol thats the goal.

 

For some reason could not find reverse image of the type II.

 

@Paddy54 , I could only hit "like" one time, but that is truly gorgeous in my eyes.

I don’t usually purchase coins from a photo. But I saw a 1917 Type I that I had to have. Received it last week and to my eyes it didn’t appear MS65 as labeled on the NGC label. Upon closer inspection it sat in the NGC holder lopsided...... I wish I could post photos on here. Does this sound like the earmarks of a counterfeit?

 

7070 Type I & Type II

 

These posts make me wonder why I only own one SLQ.

 

I'll admit I was surprised when I saw it was you who said that. Heh.

 

I purchased this coin in Annapolis at a small show, raw ,for $300!
It was a had to have as soon as I laid eyes on it.
Anacs gave it an AU-58 FH .....if every Au in my collection looked as good as this specimen does I wouldn't own a MS coin.

 

ANACS must have been hallucinating to drop your coin to an AU grade. They had this at MS62. It is clearly going to regrade at least that if I ever need it graded, so I figured there was no reason to keep it under plastic. Now it's raw.
