<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 1600493, member: 2972&quot;]If you are considering mint state, I would recommend a 17 type 1.&nbsp; The thought being you can find a fully struck example relatively cheaply.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That, plus lady liberty is wearing no shirt.&nbsp; lol</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, the best value in mint state SLQs are coins that are fully struck except for the earhole&nbsp; -- almost but not quite FH -- pay close attention to the shield center and rivets on the obverse and the reverse eagle feathers.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, don&#039;t fall into the trap that says that a FH coin is fully struck.&nbsp; It is not always the case.&nbsp; Furthermore, the early dates simply have more detail than the late dates, IMO, because by the late dates much of the detail in the shield has disappeared.</p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore I&#039;d recommend a 1917 Type 1 in almost but not quite FH.&nbsp; Most bang for the buck, IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are going for a coin in lower grade where a mint state coin or full struck example matters, then I would agree with Tom&#039;s answer and say either the Type 1 or late date Type 3s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
