<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cncman, post: 561150, member: 17256&quot;]Sorry, you are loosing me again, the second one you posted most recently was that awesome 67, the one with just the link right? The one I quoted you on before was the 64FH right? Not a 63? You are certainly entitled to your opinion, as I am, I am not always right. That&#039;s one of the nice things about our passion, it isn&#039;t an exact science. I base my opinion not just on my observation of many coins but on knowing where the high point wear usually is seen on a SLQ (breast, knee etc) which I can&#039;t see any evidence of on the coin. In order to get the level of wear on the lower areas you have been noticing, those high points would exhibit a high level of wear. Maybe you could explain what you think happened to it? How did the lower areas get so much wear without the high points like the breast and knee getting obliterated? a misformed planchet perhaps? It is also based on the fact that this year is notorious for being a horribly weak strike, that I have seen several slabbed FH coins similar to this for these dates, that the pictures probably aren&#039;t very true to what the coin looks like in hand and probably hide some of the detail, as well as the toning probably reduces some of the contrast. The OP says the coin has toe detail which is a sign of a better strike and says the other details are very close to the one you said was a 64, and I have no reason to doubt his word. I would imagine it would look better in person and if it wasn&#039;t toned. My possibility for error could lie in the fact that I don&#039;t typically examine the heavier toned ones like this, it could be throwing me off. I honestly don&#039;t see how someone that has looked at thousands of SLQs could think that the flat or missing rivets in the shield in the spots we have been talking about are a sign of wear, especially when all of the examples you have shown have the same missing rivets, I mean certainly you don&#039;t think that the examples you have put up with the missing or flat rivets #2 3 are circulated do you? Surely you have seen missing rivets on many of the later date SLQs you have looked at right? Anyway, I think we both expressed ourselves to the fullest on this topic, thanks for your input.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
