Would this grade Mint State?

Finally got my 1917 TY1 SLQ. I'm into it for high AU money but am hoping to get at least a 62. What do you think?

Obverse looks good but the fields on the reverse look ... weird.
Sort of the "orange peel" effect.

 

I would say yes, that is one NICE SLQ!

 

I'd say No and I'm thinking it may even be bogo from the pics

 

Obverse, yes. Reverse...not sure whats going on.

 

Bogo?

 

Here's a few more out of the 2x2

 

Nice!

 

I think it's a great score. I would send it in, you kinda have to find out what's what.

 

Nice coin. You could easily flip it for a profit. I know I would buy it

 

It looks like a mint state coin to me, but even with the many photos posted I can't say for sure if there is any rub on the Lady's advancing leg. That often separates these into AU vs. MS. As to the texture of the reverse fields, they look fine to me. Here is a link to a post on anther forum that explains what was happening with the silver coins of 1917: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7672474&fpart=3
