    Let's see...

    1- Super-rare date
    2- eBay
    3- Raw

    Yes, I do believe it is fishy...

    Yep. The 6 does look weird. And, as previously mentioned, it's a rare date, raw coin on eBay.

    The head separates the beads around the border the way it is supposed to on a 1916.

    Here's one I just sold a couple of weeks ago. Compare the "6" on this one to the raw one. They look the same to me.

    Genuine 1916 SLQ

    It's raw because it's been cleaned and can't be slabbed (except by ANACS).

    Of course, it's a major stretch when the seller states he can see no wear! The question that must be asked is: Why isn't it at least in an ANACS slab? For a valuable coin like that, why not invest $20?

    Here's a photo of an AU-55 I just sold today:

    Those two you posted Iras4 are stunning. Especially the FH in 64. WOW!!!!!!!!

    As for the `fishy raw piece` how would everyone grade it. Put yourself in an ANACS graders shoes and
    give your `ANACS` grade.

    I,ll start...............VF details.. Net F-12 Cleaned.

    The head is 1916 head style, and the toe is 1916 style (hugh one). I can't see weather the drapery is V shape or is U shape.

    I believe this is a good one, but cleaned.
