Since there is not a great deal of detail in the original head design consisting mainly of very fine lines or strands of hair, one must look for overall sharpness in this area to determine FH status. </i></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0080ff"><i>Some coins of this date will have the full-intended detail but have some slight overall mushiness and still qualify for FH status. Others may have bolder lines without the general mushiness, but with slight weakness in several strands and still attain the FH designation. As long as the hair is distinct and the strands do not blend into Miss Liberty&#039;s head or cap, the coin will be designated Full Head.</i></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0080ff"><i>Note: 1916 Standing Liberty quarters with both exceptionally bold strands of hair and no mushiness or blending of the hair detail are the exceptions and may command a significant premium.</i></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0080ff"><i><img src="http://www.pcgs.com/ezine/images/Green_07062010/img-coin9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></i></span></p><p><span style="color: #0080ff"><i>The photo at far left illustrates a totally Full Head for a 1916 issue. Note the complete, though slightly mushy detail in the hair behind the eye. The hairline behind the cheek is complete, though again, not sharply defined. The middle photo illustrates the minimum detail necessary for a Full Head on a 1916 issue. Some flat spots appear in the hair, but the hairline is still barely visible. The photo on the far right falls short of a Full Head. There is no hairline visible as the forehead merges with the hair. </i></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
