<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rld14, post: 455248, member: 16133&quot;]I&#039;m a bit more awake tonight, my thoughts are in agreement with a lot of the comments on here re: strikes and what an FH is.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was having a chat with a friend of mine who is a dealer and advanced collector this afternoon (It&#039;s amazing, I haven&#039;t collected coins in 20+ years and it&#039;s all coming back to me very quickly!) about FH SLQs.&nbsp; If you look at 10 different FH SLQs you&#039;ll see many different variations on what a &quot;Full&quot; head is, especially slabbed coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=OLJCW9N9hX8C&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=STANDING+LIBERTY+QUARTERS&amp;ei=FQMYSefNGIyYyASPzpT2Bg&amp;client=firefox-a#PPA92,M1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://books.google.com/books?id=OLJCW9N9hX8C&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=STANDING+LIBERTY+QUARTERS&amp;ei=FQMYSefNGIyYyASPzpT2Bg&amp;client=firefox-a#PPA92,M1" rel="nofollow">http://books.google.com/books?id=OLJCW9N9hX8C&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=STANDING+LIBERTY+QUARTERS&amp;ei=FQMYSefNGIyYyASPzpT2Bg&amp;client=firefox-a#PPA92,M1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I would imagine that you guys own this book (I just bought the newest edition and am awaiting its&#039; arrival) but look at page 92 if you can.&nbsp; I agree that a lot of people will buy the slab, when I was collecting in the mid 80s slabbing wasn&#039;t nearly as prevalent as it is today and you would often see 2 otherwise same grade FH quarters sell for varying prices due to the quality of the FH.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I have to go to the bank and dig out my Quarters.. as I recall I have 2 FH Quarters, both bought from Stacks for me as birthday gifts in the mid 80s by my Grandfather.&nbsp; I do recall that one has an incredibly sharp FH and the other just qualifies as an FH.&nbsp; Both are common date coins, both were MS65s, assuming both came back from slabbing as such, I would guess that the super sharp head one would be worth dramatically more than the barely FH one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
