GTG - 2 SLQs 1917-D, Type 1 & 1917, Type 2

I'm still gradually upgrading the SLQ top set and these 2 are my latest acquisitions - both are straight graded and slabbed. Kind of fun to see a Type 1 in direct comparison to a Type 2. I LOVE GETTING NEW COINS (and finding old ones ) Happy Thanksgiving all! Sellers pics, they ship next Tuesday after the holiday.

Oooh, tough to grade using only those tiny pics.

From what I see, I'd call the Type 1 a 53-ish (up or down one grade).

I'd call the Type 2 a 63-ish (up or down a grade).

 

Seems to me like wear on the knee and on the wing tips. AU50 (don't get mad, just trying to learn)

 

These are two different coins

Which one are you talking about, the top one or the bottom one?

 

I like the type 1 as a strong AU-50. I think the type 2 is probably a very attractive coin in person but I can't get a lock on a grade because of the toning. Congrats anyway, nice coins.

 

AU-53
XF-40 (?)

 

Both AU

 

AU53
AU55

 

I'm guessing both are AU 53

 

Those are hard to see.
I like the luster left on the D AU55.
The type 2 is real mushy.
I am torn between AU and MS AU58

 

They came early! Sam Sloat (VCoins) shipped on Tuesday (I paid Tuesday afternoon - and they are about 50 miles away) instead of after the holiday. I hope these pictures are better. I am working on that. Also, thank you for the PhotoScape recommendation - that's what I'm using for editing. Reveal soon! Love the input, thanks!

The 1917, type 2, is graded by ANACS at AU55 and the 1917-D, type 1, is graded at AU50. Pictures below and also pictures of the first 2 pages of my SLQ collection as upgraded with these. Thank you for your guesses, you guys are pretty sharp.

 

Those photos weren't easy on the eyes,
Wow, I way overgraded.

 

So if I take the average of the 50 and 55, then I get my 53 guess.
