<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 527053, member: 2972&quot;]It&#039;s a subtle kind of thing, in my experience, Paul.&nbsp;&nbsp; And in this case it really worked FOR you, if you catch my drift.&nbsp; I wish I could find a typeset full of AU&#039;s that look like that!&nbsp; The coin&#039;s wonderful strike more than makes up for it, IMO.&nbsp; As you know, it&#039;s very very difficult to find a type 2/3 SLQ fully struck -- it&#039;s a coin that&#039;s been on my list for three years now and I&#039;ve yet to find a nice one, and I&#039;d take your coin in a second.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin reminds me of something said by a collector I&#039;ve learned a lot from... They would call this coin a &quot;head scratcher&quot;.&nbsp; A coin which looks clearly undergraded at first glance.&nbsp; Far more often than not, there&#039;s something that you&#039;re not seeing -- light hairlines, slightly impared luster, a rim dent hidden by the holder, etc.&nbsp; Still market acceptable, but net graded for it.... or at least that&#039;s my story -- and I&#039;m sticking to it.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I hope to someday get to see that coin over a beer -- SLQs are one of my favorite designs, and that&#039;s a stunner!</p><p><br /></p><p>Have a nice weekend...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
