My Standing Lib Quarter Newp - Grade Now Revealed in Top Original Post

I recently picked this up. Guess the grade. I'll be out at a Gala tonight, but when I get home, I'll post the grade at that time as an edit to this original post. The color and luster of the coin in hand is like the slab photo. Unfortunately, luster is often tough to pick up in the True View.
Edit for the reveal: This lovely coin is a 65FH, w/CAC. There are THREE takeaways that may have caused virtually everyone to guess too high:
- Despite today’s technology with high resolution photos, there’s still nothing better than looking at a coin in hand, or having a trusted person look at the coin in hand for you.
- More importantly in this exercise, in my opinion for the incorrect guesses, is most of those guessing know that I typically have “high end” coins. That created a built in bias, kind of like the Emperor with no clothes. Yes, my SLQ FH DATE Set is ranked #3, and many of the 14 coins in that DATE set are 66+, and all 14 are FH and with a CAC. As such, when you saw a “nice” coin purchased by me, most assumed this coin was at the general level of my other coins, whether an SLQ, or some other coin of mine.
- People here are nice. Knowing the grades I typically buy, some viewers may have indeed thought the coin might have been a lower grade, but didn’t want me to feel bad if the coin I bought was graded 66FH or 66+FH, and they said it was not quite there.
The PCGS Registry FH DATE set does not require a 1917 Type 2 coin. For the 1917 slot in my set, I use a Type 1, 66+FH. When I saw this attractive 1917 Type 2 coin, with no toning, high luster, and with a CAC, I told myself it would be nice to have, even though it’s not part of any PCGS Registry Set for me.

Dang, that thing looks like it was made this morning. Very nice addition.
I have one of these in PC 6 and this one looks nicer. Would surprise me if it's an MS 67 FH and I can see it with a green bean.

Very nice! 66+ FH is my guess.
Fantastic Coin that has blazing luster.
MS67FH
That's a sweet one! Very well struck.
MS-66 FH
I’m thinking 66+ full head.
It’s a VERY bright, lustrous looking piece that looks like it just came off of the die.
Congratulations 👌
Excellent addition to your set.
I’ll go with 67+FH CAC

How the hell am I suppose to guess when you black out the cert.#
67FH all day long and even post gala!
I'm in the 67FH camp maybe a plus if as lustrous as it appears.

Guess it has to be by using your grey cells and knowledge to figure it out.
Common sense is not so common after all.

I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
MS67FH.

I see nothing to detract any points from. I am going to say 67FH.

Not a SLQ collector nor have studied them, but my feeling is MS67FH. This is a stellar piece in my opinion, one anyone would love to have in their collection. Congrats.

I bet Ricko will love this coin.
The only thing I see that isn't well struck is the weakness in the date area.

I’m confident this will get @ricko ’s coveted “Blast White” sticker when submitted via this thread!

MS66+ FH, and because it is @winesteven CAC is a must.

At least 66FH.
67FH CAC green.
I grade it... Wow!! Easily 66FH, but 67FH wouldn't shock me.

@winesteven..... Wow!!! That is a beauty.... For sure sticker worthy.... Cheers, RickO

Is that a strike thru on the shield above the left breast?
That's a beauty! Nice acquisition!
66 FH plus cac
It’s a beautiful coin, and the shield and head are hammered. I’m afraid to go against the consensus, so rather than guess, I’ll ask a question: won’t the soft strike at the date and the nicks on the lower drapery limit the grade?
My guess as well. The scratch on the thigh keeps it from 67.
Beautiful!
Another coin designed by Adolph Weinman. He designed the Winged Liberty, Standing Liberty and the Walking Liberty at the same time. Upsetting Barber very much but what great job he did.
These are known to come very well struck and more often than not with a FH. It's a nice coin for sure it should easily merit a 66+.
That's not a scratch on her thigh that is part of the design. A few Knicks on the shin might have an affect on the grade.

67FH
I stand corrected and thank you. I was recalling my recent reading where MacNeil was chosen but mistook Weinman as the designer because of the letter transcripts back and fourth with Wooley.
Thanks for the correction! So, now I'm guessing a 67FH!

Steve, I think you’re being overly modest with your assumption that we all guessed high because we were to be “nice”. No matter who posted that coin, my guess would not have been lower than 66 🙂

Very nice. Congrats and enjoy!
On your last statement, I agree! I'm always delighted to find a coin that to me, looks really nice, even though it's not a top grade or top pop coin and have the money left over to use towards another nice coin.
The coin design was executed by Herman MacNeil, who also was a sculptor.
