<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 163938, member: 3565&quot;]Here is an article on how to grade SLQ&#039;s...take a look and then tell me what you would grade mine (Hint..click the photos a 2nd time for a better look at details):</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; GOOD show a well-worn design with very little detail remaining. The legend and date are weak but visible. The top of the date may be worn flat. The eagle is worn nearly flat but is completely outlined. Lettering and stars are worn but visible.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; VERY GOOD Good has a weak design with most details in the gown worn smooth. Drapery across the breast is outlined. The bottom right star is worn flat. One-third of the eagle&#039;s feathers are visible and large feathers at ends of wings are well separated.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; FINE has gown details worn nearly smooth across the body but show at sides. Right leg is nearly flat and toe is worn. Breast is worn but visible. Outer edge of shield is complete. Eagle is evenly worn. 1/2 of the wing feathers are visible but worn in spots</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; VERY FINE shows the right leg worn nearly flat in central parts. Wear spots show on head, breast, shield and foot. Beads on outer shield are visible but those close to the breast are very weak. Eagle is lightly worn with most details visible.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; EXTRA FINE shows flat spots on the right leg and knee. Most of the gown line crossing the thigh is learly visible. Shield details are bold with the breast lightly worn but full and rounded. Eagle has flat spots on high points of breast &amp; right wing joint.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A U shows a trace of wear on high points of head, breast, small shield and right leg above the knee. The eagle shows a trace of wear on edges of wings, breast and tail feathers. Three-quarters of mint luster is still present.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UNC coins will have no trace of wear but may lack full mint luster and have blemishes. Check for sings of wear at the breast, knee, high points of shield, eagles breast and wings. These coins frequently show weakly struck spots.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
