Holy cow, that's a gorgeous coin! Is the reverse actually rotated as shown?

 

Au58

 

I'm going MS, and unless I'm missing a big hit somewhere, well into MS. It's nearly impossible to judge these from photos, especially with this kind of (beautiful!) toning, but I see no hint of rub on the reverse. On the obverse, there's just no telling without shots from multiple lighting angles, or seeing the coin in hand.

 

My editing software kept crashing, so I just did a quick crop.

 

That appears to be an attractive coin. I'll go 63, with a possible full head.

 

AU55

 

55/58 or 64 depending on if there's wear

 

AU58 I like it!

 

58/63

 

AU 58!

And WHOA!!!! That coin rates a two-syllable DAYUM!

 

55

 

58 FH, w/gorgeous toning.

 

Agreed.

 

ms61

 

This isn't a series I collect so I'm not sure if the grade is correct. I didn't remember seeing anything that would make me believe it was a 61, the only thing I noticed was the mark on the right side of the obverse on the "wall" below trust.



I'm considering buying it but this isn't a cheap coin in MS and if I bought it I'd want to cross it. Would you pay $360 for this?

 

I guessed AU55 because it looks like wear on the leg and boob. However, since ANACS called it MS61, I'm guessing there is no wear, but rather a lack of toning like we see all over the rest of the coin.

To answer your question, Numismedia puts your coin value at $222. However, the "full head" designation and the unique toning would add a premium to that. I don't specialize in SLQs, but I'm guessing the asking price of $360 is still a bit high. If it was me, I might go as high as $300 if I planned on saving it for a long time and never selling. Again, I'm admittedly not an SLQ specialist, so others may chime in here.

 

I'm guessing that might be a type 2.

I think if it's a 61 it's a fair price, but if it's a 58, then I'm in the hole even more after grading fees. I just don't know the series at all and don't even know what the difference between a 58 and 64 are.

 

It is a type 1. The hair and the exposed breast is type 1

 

The coin is a Type 1, for sure. the problem is, I LOOKED AT THE WRONG MINT MARK!!! Wow...rookie mistake. The correct pricing on Numismedia for a 1917-S type 1 is $300.

So, I'm changing my story completely. With the full head designation and unique eye appeal, I'd pay the $360 your seller is asking for.
