The head is so full you can see a cheek bone

Ruben[/QUOTE]

For some reason i had to laugh when i read that!

I like your coin, but most of all, i like it that you like it so much!

(My own first attemp to get a SLQ did not end up well - it was sold to me as MS62, but you could not see much of the face, let alone the cheekbones Yours is all there).

Regards,
Eduard

 

Wow, Ruben, if you paid $50 for that coin, I wanna know who the seller is. LOL :kewl:

VERY nice SLQ!!

 

what??? buy me one too then :hammer:

 

Well, you know, when you hunt for something for a long time and finally find one which is very satisfying, then its a lot of fun. Is this not what much of the hobby about? We don't make the coins or design them All we do is find them and pay for them....all $50.00

Ruben

 

It was the German police. They acquired it from an archaeologist.

Ruben

 

no

 

I sharpened it a bit already, but I still need a better photo. This coin has minute details that almost no other SLQ I've seen ever had. You can almost see eye lashes.

BTW - try the GIMP

Ruben

 

what would you grade it Jack?

Ruben

 

I think it tops out Pauls registery list for the 1917


You can get an MS70 and I doubt it will look that good.

Ruben

 

Full Face - Yes a new notation. The heck with the head, we have a FULL FACE

Here is something else, it has complete bars on both stone slabs. That is better than complete steps

Ruben

 

sorry

there is only ONE

 

BTW - did you see the Navel?

Ruben

 

Yeah - I think it is staying in the safe house for a while but if you come to Brooklyn I'd be happy to show it to you.

Ruben

 

well at least look out for me. if u find one like that for 50 bucks u neednt say it again

 

If I find one for $50 bucks I will gladly tell you.


:whistle:

Rusty

 

I will drop a hint on you. You've seen this coin before ...
