'16 SLQ

Dave99B

Hey, you SLQ collectors out there: This SLQ caught my eye today. I like the "look" of this quarter.

In terms of grade, does this look like a strong "G4" as the Seller suggests?

PCGS 1916 G4 SLQ

Thanks for your input -

i don't know if it's the scratches or what but the rim under all the scratches at 3:00 on the rev. dosn't look to be all there

Yes thats looks like a nice g4 to me.

A little dark, I like it though. However, I always get suspicious when a seller lists items like this one and makes the statement that it's original. Kind of makes you wonder...

Nice BIC toning!!! And it's not an 1878!

I collect 1916 SLQ's in mint state FH and non FH.
I sold off my circulated specimens and regret doing that.

So I have bought and sold quite a number of them. Here is my
advice to you. I don't know your budget, but have to assume this
is a healthy purchase for you. I'd rather see you take your
time and be patient and wait for a nice VG PCGS. You'll get
a more distinct date this way that is really critical, drapery
lines will be a little better, better toes. A VG would be better.
If you could swing a Fine, great but not necesary. Personally
I would rather see you splurge on a little better coin even if
you have to put the rest on the credit card. In the long run
I am willing to bet you will be glad you did that. I saw a couple
VG PCGS 1916's at the Balt show and a Fine. One VG looked very nice,
the other I didn't like. I always ask to look at any 1916 at a show.
Didn't care for the fine either. The two I didn't like just had some
nicks in the wrong places.

As far as I am concerned, buying a key, popular coin like this is money
in the back. It will always be sought after. It is the type of coin
that is always in demand and never runs cold. Feel free to PM me for
my web site with some of my own opinions that may help with your decision.

Looks like a few of the seller's items are AT experiments. Either their experiments or someone elses. Compare these two:

#1
#2

Notice anything familiar and similar?

And
#1
#2

Quite a bit of cleaning on these morgans, too. Lots of hairlines and evidence of polishing.

I may be wrong, but I seem to recall this seller selling lots of MONSTER TONE coins in AG-VF conditions that were so obviously AT that it was an insult to the eyes.

I think Charlie B made some very good points.
