[QUOTE="rld14, post: 484629, member: 16133"]Ruben, I am going to make a suggestion. If you are shopping for a single T1 SLQ, forget about a 1917. A 1917 T1 in MS65FH costs about $1,000 or so and about half that a point lower. They made 8.74 Million of them. 80% or so were FHs per Jay Cline (Who I tend to trust on SLQs). This means a coin that is 1 out of 7 Million ever struck costs about $1,000 in MS65FH and $500 in MS64FH A 1917-S in MS65FH brings around $3,000 or so and half that in MS64FH. They made about 1.9 Million 1917-S T1s, 5% at most were FHs. This means a coin that is 1 out of 95,000 ever struck costs about $3,000, again, about half that in MS64FH A 1917-S FH is about 70 times as rare as a Philly coin, strikewise, but is only twice the money. Hmmm...... No, pricing and values of SLQs do not make, as a rule, any logical sense whatsoever. Some relatively easy to obtain coins are super expensive, some downright rarities are quite cheap. It seems that people on heavy drugs set the market on these...[/QUOTE]
