This is number 9 of 14 for me.
I LIKE the 1925, because it is a PHILLY ONLY year, and the recessed date was a new design change.
PS--I paid up for this piece........A good move or a bad one?
Thank you for your thoughts.....
I will post the grade tomorrow.
PSS--I hope that you are all having a NICE holiday.....ME? I am drinking some beers and enjoying a paid holiday with family and friends

You picked a nice coin for the Holiday.
MS-65FH (If that's an ear hole that I see).
Happy Memorial Day!

FH 65 may go 66. Nice.
Looks at least MS65 FH to me.
That's a nice coin! I have a date set too (excepting the 1916) but mine is mostly in the XF-AU range.
Thanks! Rather than buy a 1916; I may just buy two 1917 coins---a type one and a type two.

Beautiful SLQ... Lots of luster, I assume that 'mark' on the reverse is on the slab...I would say MS65, perhaps 66...That coin has been well cared for. Cheers, RickO
Not a fan of the surfaces on either side.
65+ and a great coin . . . . . just super!

Looks 66 FH to me. Regarding "paying up" - you will never regret paying up for quality like that.
Nice coin, All the rivets are there and Full. Only problem I see is the holder.
Wow nice strike there! MS66. Nice example!
Looks like an MS66FH to me. The only distraction I see is what might be some dip residue which may get darker over time.

White ANACS or early NGC soap slab?
VERY nice!! Congratulations!!!
Thanks for all the great guesses!
I believe that this is an NGC number 9 for those who care about slab history. It first appeared in July of 2001 and was used for 2 years.

Just curious why you "paid up" for this particular coin? Serious question, not trying to be flippant.
@CoinJunkie I liked it. I thought it was 'all there' and PQ for the grade. I like older slabs, too. It deserves the green sticker, IMO, which was an added bonus.

That's a lot a coin for a 64 FH. Certainly worth a premium imo.
OK, thanks. The coin has a "dipped" look which I'm not attracted to, but everyone's taste is different. A lot of folks seem to think it's undergraded, which is always a good sign.
1925 should be referred to as Type 3 because of the recessed date.
a.k.a "The BUFFINATOR"
The PCGS price guide refers to the 1916 to 1917 bare breast as type 1, the 1917 to 1924 chain mail breast as type 2A and the 1925 to 1930 recessed date as type 2B, so there is a distinction.
