I have cherrypicked 2 of these in similar condition this year. The latest one is almost identical to yours in detail(see pictures). I sent it into ANACS last week and just found out today that they graded it FR02(though it barely makes that grade imo). </p><p>The one in the comparison drawing that you posted was the other one I found earlier this year, and it also graded FR02. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mark. You have graded at NGC, but from my understanding, NGC will not grade a 1916 slq that is completely dateless. I say this because a friend of mine on CCF sent one in and they returned it stating that they wouldnt grade it since no date was visible. He then proceeded to send it to ANACS where it graded AG03. Maybe you can dig up a dateless 16 in an NGC slab, and i would be wrong....but this is just what I&#039;ve heard.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my personal opinion, I think ANACS is the easiest and best way to go. This is because PCGS appears to have goofed several times with the diagnostics(several threads on CU about this), and it&#039;s questionable to me whether or not NGC will grade it at all. I think in this case, you also have a better chance of getting a FR02 with ANACS than PCGS. PCGS is definitely stricter as far as the grade goes, but as others have stated, it WILL bring the most money on a resale given equal grades. With most valuable coins I would recommend PCGS or NGC; but with dateless 16 slqs, I prefer ANACS. I know many will disagree, and that is fine.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Oh, and WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
