1917 D Type 1 SLQ, FH or No? MS or not quite?

I'm impressed it came back MS62 - the FH doesn't surprise me. I know from my own experience how hard it is to assess a coin you don't have in hand, especially as I'm a subpar photographer despite much effort and a great deal of improvement, thanks to a lot of tips I've gotten here and much practice. In any case, none of the big four (PCGS, NGC, ANACS or ICG) are going to screw up an SLQ grade much, they may overgrade on a good day (for the owner) or undergrade the same way, but it's unusual and ANACS is just as likely or unlikely to err as PCGS in my experience. In any case, I am a believer in this as an MS62 FH. Let's keep in mind that every coin going through any of the big 4 is seen by a minimum of two highly qualified graders. I hope to have one as nice in my collection one of these days. Congratulations.
