[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 8385487, member: 15588"]Hello, I have had this 1928 D SLQ for a number of years and I realized that it has just sat in an airtite mostly forgotten for all of that time. Given the current skyrocketing price of coins in general , I've decided to try to look further at what I already have in "the box." I have a very hard time grading these beauties, so I thought I might seek some assistance here. As usual, the photos probably aren't perfect to give a definitive judgement, but I tried to include more close-ups as well. To start, the coin does have nice cartwheel luster on both sides, which made it more difficult for me to photograph. Some of the glare shaded the detail on the shield, which has all of its outer perimeter points except for a small batch between 7:00 and 9:00. The toes look only so-so. To show some of the washed out areas on the larger photograph, I dragged out "the scope" to hopefully show more detail on the chest, on the feet and the eagle's body. Those are below the main photos. Would any other pictures help? I'm also not sure how to determine wear vs strike quality. I would love this to grade somewhere at the AU level, but I'm guessing some of its flaws may drag it down to XF or lower territory. I don't think it's been cleaned, but I'd like to know what others think. I certainly know it's not a full head, at least. Thank you for any thoughts or opinions in advance.
