<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cncman, post: 560876, member: 17256&quot;]Ha, that&#039;s OK, What you need to understand is that there can be a great variance in the strike quality of different features in the SLQ because of its design and numerous other features, how far apart the dies were set different die wear etc. Anyone that has examined numerous examples of MS SLQs knows that you can have mushy and outstanding in the same coin, it isn&#039;t all or nothing. Look no further than these last 2 coins. They both have strong strike features in some areas and weak in others. Did you compare the elbows yet? The OPs coin has a sharp elbow with a clear seperation between it and the gown, the HA FH coin (which was graded higher) does not, but the OPs coins has, I agree a slightly weaker shield. BUt the weak rivets are in the same positions, 2 and 3, just like in cline&#039;s book, so that does not indicate wear. There would be little doubt from anyone that the HA piece is mint state but if you wanted to compare just that elbow portion one might think the OPs coin is the higher grade because it exhibits more detail.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
