Can anyone tell me the difference in the 1916 and 1917 ty1 SLQ's when the date is gone. Here is one that I picked up for a few dollars. What would you say it is a 17 or 16.
Check out this thread that we just talked about the other day.... http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=19848 Speedy
There are several ways to differentiate the 1916 from the 1917 (both type 1's): First: the toe on the 1926 extends over the 'ledge' that Liberty is standing on; 2) the drapery on Liberty's right (your left) is raised above the base, ledge, and on the 1917 it is even. Yours appears to be even, but it is hard to tell. Also, I understand that ANACS will slab 1916's even without the date, naturally as dateless.
