[QUOTE="rld14, post: 454413, member: 16133"]Well, I'm getting back into collecting SLQs and have just read and re-read my old copy of Cline's book (And bought the 4th edition on eBay about 20 mins ago). Funny you bring this up as I was giving this a lot of thought today! From reading the book and his individual writeups on each coin, it's interesting how some dates are common and yet FHs are rare in said date and vice-versa, like the 1917 Type 1, Cline makes a point that that specific date tends to come very well struck, granted it's the exception, and while non-FHs are actually rarer they are clearly worth less and some of the more common dates are almost impossible yet don't seem to carry the premium that would logically make sense. The price chart that you posted also makes virtually no sense (Although I don't dount it!) with regards to the 1916.. yes it's a rare coin in any grade, but it shows only a small FH premium, when Cline seems to say that it's extremely hard to find in FH condition. All this being said, I would take the date from PCGS and NGC with a grain of salt, I am of the opinion that the FH coins are the ones far more likely to get sent off to be slabbed and the ones most likely to be cracked due to the potential upside.[/QUOTE]
