    Recently Made a trade for this ANACS certified 1916 standing lib quarter, and wanted to show it off. I have owned many dateless examples, so it is nice to have one that is a bit more clear on the date. Maybe someday I will upgrade to a VF, but I really like the look of this one for now.

    Very nice coin!! Did ANACS give it a grade, or just certify it as genuine? I am correct that it should at least be a G-4 with most of the date legible?

    Thanks. ANACS graded it VG8 which is correct imo given the bottom loop of the 6 is full. G4s generally only have the very bottom outlines of 1 or 2 digits visible.

    Question for the noob, Is that Morse Code inside the rim of the obverse?

    Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I don't think I will ever be able to afford an MS-64 either. I had to trade an arm and a leg to get this one....lol.

    That is a great looking one if you ask me.
    Lots of life left in it. And just part of the date worn.
    Great pick up.
    What did you have to trade? A porsche? eheheh

    I traded an ANACS G-4 1916 slq, a bunch of midrange type coins including a type 2 gold dollar along with a few buffalo nickels, and $962.

    Thanks for posting that Treashunt! That one is yours, right? I thought I remembered reading that you owned one on a thread I read several years ago. Neat coin! You should post some closeups!

    Sweet looking quarter. The reverse still looks very clear.
