(Thanks @spirityoda for pointing out what a novice i am at this, lol! Oops!)

 

Holy cow that thing glows in the dark. lol Amazing grade.

 

Wrong coin and denomination. That's a walking liberty not a standing liberty quarter

 

Yup, I'm a moron. I'm glad it was you pointing it out, lol.

 

I think this one is right, lol.
Thanks @Beardigger. No way i could forget this beautiful S.

 

Hello Sal,
Congrats on NON-Smoking...I was helped stopping a 2-1/2 pack a day when I had wisdom teeth removed..Not exactly cheating but the fear of ANOTHER dry-socket kept me off cigs for 10 days...after that it was much easier. (for me at least)
Hello Hambone,
What an exceptional collection you've put together, especially that monster 1918/7-S...Mucho Kudos!

1917 PCGS AU58FH Type 2

 

There was one SLQ that no one mentioned, nor did eye. Maybe it's because it may not be a "true" SLQ, the Gold Standing Liberty. It is a beautiful version. I was fortunate enough to get all three of the gold rendition of older coins... the Gold Mercury Dime, the Gold Standing Liberty Quarters, and the Gold Walking Liberty.

 

I also acquired the 3 gold renditions and was particularly keen to the the gold SLQ. I must admit to some disappointment about the weakness of the strike however.

 

Standing Liberty heck, a big congratulations is in order Sal... Hang in there man, it's been 41 years since I realized it was not worth it to smoke. I made a promise to my daughter to quit, I gave her my last pack of cigarettes, and did it cold turkey. Don't ever turn back Sal. Best of luck to you!

 

Good for you!

 

I have one from each year except 1916 and 1921. For a few years I have more than one. By no means is it close to a complete set; it isn’t even a full year set.

But the one thing they have in common is that I like them all. A lot. I ended up with a few more 1917s than I planned.

The dies were a bit misaligned for this Type II. It results in a weak strike at the date and the top of the reverse. I think the dies were furthest apart at the 4 o’clock position on the obverse, judging by the lack of border details. On the reverse, the 2 o’clock position shows no details in the stars.

On the other hand, it applied more pressure at the head, resulting in a probable Full Head for this ungraded example. I wish these Full Head, Full Steps, Full Bell Lines took into account the overall strength of the strike, instead of looking at one feature only. If the die alignment had been off in the other direction, the date would have been stronger and the head weaker. Would that make it any worse or better?
