i dont know about grading her.. but she is a beautifll coin!!! hopefully the scratches are on the holder and not the coin. They do look to me to be on the holder so. ...
The coin is indeed a beauty! Looks like it was dipped and is re-toning. My grade is MS-64. I wouldn't try to have it graded.
Not sure about a prior cleaning, but I would say 64. Its got a hit on the leg and the eagle. Not to bad or distracting though. Not sure about FH but it doesnt have full rivets. I think overall its a nice coin. As to having it slabbed, Just not sure.
I don't think I would slab it. I'm also not sure if it can be called FH. I think it is a nice MS-63 coin it always will have a spot next to my 1917 ty 1 in my type set.
Very nice coin! I'd say a 63 or a 64, but I'm not too sure how to grade these. Beautiful coin though! :thumb: Phoenix
MS 64 is my guess. Might even be a 65. No full head from me, though. Would like to see the luster a bit better in order to be more sure though.
Your standing there holding two longguns and you want us to grade your coins? LOL.. I would give this one a MS62, MS64 if you promise not to shoot. : ) Nice coin.
I'd also give your SLQ an MS64. Certainly not an FH though. Still a beautiful coin. I've got a collection of these in the works also. One of my favorite series.
Not a FH, but so close to MS that I can't tell. I don't see any rub on Liberty's leg, not any on the eagle's wing or breast. Good detail on the shield. Better than average strike. Nice coin.
Fooled me with the FH. I can see where I probably went wrong. The lighting reflection masked some of the detail. At least I got the strike and "nice coin" correct.
i guess this means all future SLQ's are going to NGC... to our NGC friends who are reading this... keep up the good work!
i was going to say 65 and possibly FH, scrolled down to see I was right. I feel good about myself right now - maybe i should start a slabbing, er, grading company the FH is tough, but it's a 65 for sure. -Steve
Knowing NGC gave the FH, I would give them (and the coin) the benefit of the doubt. That said, I'd like to see a photograph with the light at a different angle/position as to get a better look at the head/hair details. Upon review of the photo, I suspect the area of overexposure in the original photograph makes this area appear more weakly struck than the actual coin.
