<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steamandlight, post: 2800674, member: 56876&quot;]For a SLQ, dateless will still grade - P1, FR2, and AG3 are all dateless grades, for the most part. G4 is where you start seeing hints of the date. The fact that this CAN be identified positively as a 1916, even without a visible date, is (I assume) what makes a grade possible at that point. Unlike with the nickels you referenced, however, the coin was not damaged or altered in order to figure this out, thus, the straight grade is possible. There is one scratch, true, but I guess it wasn&#039;t enough to be a problem at that grade. In fact, the CAC sticker means that even by the strictest grading standards, it&#039;s a high-end example of that grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>that said, I can appreciate that for some people like yourself, you are not interested in a coin in this condition. For a key date, though, this is for many people the best condition they can afford. In this condition, it&#039;s still over $1500 coin - tons of us cannot even begin to wrap that much money into one coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your response <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
