<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 26052787, member: 74863"]For an F-12 grade the drapery lines are not really visible and the high curve of Liberty’s right leg is too worn. Her toes are worn and the very top of the date shows wear. This put it in a strong G-4 and a weak VG-8 grade. </p><p>Since it’s dated after 1925 when the date was reworked the date is strong I’d be at a G-6, maybe G-8. The dealers I’ve spoken with all have a difficult time finding a 1926-S. Only 2,700,000 were minted so it’s possible that it’s a date that was melted by the government. Any higher grade SQL is tough in my opinion but a number of this type were melted.</p><p>This is my 1917 Type 1 SQL. Liberty’s breast is exposed and there are no stars on the reverse under the eagle. It’s beautifully toned and is a higher grade. Notice the detail in the drapery and toes.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1657116[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1657117[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
