    I don't see anything limiting this coin from 66+ and perhaps 67. Beauty. Thanks for sharing.

    Not sure about the FH... but I am trying look for reasons to limit the grade without much luck. What a terrific coin. I would hope 66 is the floor with a 50% shot at 67. The photo is exceptional and makes the case for a significant grade.

    Gorgeous, hammered, great date SLQ!! Congratulations!! <3

    66 or 66+ ... as for FH, I would suspect they gave it a FH designation. Maybe more importantly, awesome strike overall with nearly full chainmail, shield and rivets ... and she has a knee!

    65 but not full head even if designated as such. While many call it well struck it strikes me as being a bit on the soft side, hence not a 66 by my standards.

    Wow! Just noticed the MD on IN GOD WE TRUST almost makes it look 3d. That is kind of special. The toning prevented me from making a judgement regarding the FH designation, but it may well be. What a gorgeous example of a T2 SLQ. Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

    The lack of full head detail doesn't surprise me-I don't personally think it has one. The low numeric grade is a surprise. They were pretty rough with the grade on that one.

    You're actually correct. Now, that I have it in hand; I can see (with a loupe) a touch of flatness, on the very highest point, but I'd say that the head is still about 90% full.

    Maybe time to send that little baby back in for a reconsideration. But I will say after looking at coin facts on these particular coins I found that they are very hard on them. In fact their 64 looks much like yours. At the same time the higher grades of 66 and 67 definitely show more Luster and is evident even in the pics.
    Anyway regardless of the number I would definitely buy that coin.

    Edit, I meant photo grade not CoinFacts. CoinFacts actually has yours pictured :-)

    That would be enough for me. I think a full head quarter without a corresponding full shield is nothing special. You have a nice full shield on your '21. It's a truly outstanding coin and one that I'd be proud to own.

    This is the best I can do for a '21-VF30. I have a complete date set, excepting, of course the 1916.

    I might just do that, someday. The luster on mine looks better in hand and I love the hint of coppery-gold toning on it.

    I had no idea that mine was in CoinFacts. That's cool. I'll have to check it out!!

    Thank you. I agree with you regarding the shield.

    You have a very nice example, as well. :) It has a nice, original, silver-grey color and a lot of meat for a VF.

    I am doing my set ATS and they have a slot for a T1 and a T2. It is the Registry user's choice, as to whether or not he/she chooses a 1916 or a 1917 for the first slot.

    I am going with a 1917, for now. I might buy a 1916 down the road, sometime, but not for awhile. There are other coins that I want more, right now.

    You have a very nice coin but not close to a full head. The 3 leaves are not there. Here are a couple of mine. One is a 64 full head and the other is a 63 full head. Strong full heads with complete shields and 5 toes also. These are about as good a strikes I have seen. The luster is subdued because the first one is a scan and the second one is taken with a crappy point and shoot camera with poor lighting.

    Have a good day, Gary

    This video is kind of confusing and ambiguous. He defines type 2 full heads as ‘just made it’, ‘above average’ and ‘monster’.

    Using that criteria, I think mine is a full head, because it is, at least, on the lower end of his full head spectrum.
