    it almost looks like they included a picture of a different coin. Seller seems legit, and in NGC slab. Hopefully it looks a lot better when it arrives!

  • If that's an MS67, then my SLQ's must be MS70s,... or pure junk. Maybe I need to resubmit immediately!!

    I did not see any wear so that I don't believe it is an EF or an AU coin.
    Whether it is an MS67, I need to see the coin. If the coin has great luster under the original toning, there is a shot to MS67.
    I don't believe the coin could be ever into a PCGS MS67 holder. image

    Here's what I see:

    -Normal non-full-head
    -Peripheral toning darkens the date
    -One of the worst pictures of a high-valued coin I've seen
    -Luster completely dulled out

    I think this is just a really, really bad picture...

    Even if it is a nice coin, don't you need a full strike for a MS67. That coin does not look fully struck to me. JMHO.
  • I was thinking bad picture, too. Really bad.


    I don't know how NGC is with SLQ's. I have one 65 that is accurately graded. Their Wasington Q's are a little loose, in my opinion.


    But I don't think they're XF to MS67 loose, thoughimage

    The lack of luster coming thru the toning makes me somewhat dubious.

    Might be a bad picture, but the coin leaves me unimpressed.
    There once was a place called
    Camelotimage
  • I see a lustre break on the knee and on the chain mail. Someone got lucky on this submission when it sould have come back AU-58. Pretty unattractive toning too.

    If you are really in the SLQ series, then you know there is no fully struck Type II SLQ coins. Even the MS69 one did not have full strike on horizontal lines.

    Whether the coin is MS67, everyone will have different opinion. After examining over 1000+ mint state SLQs, I can tell you that you don't find such kind of condition SLQ everyday. Based on the photo, I grade the coin a solid 6.

  • I agree with APN.Poor pic.
    He should hire Russ.

    I think the strike is really soft. Poor detail in the gown & around the rims on both sides. No way a 67 unless the
    pic is really that bad. But then again, a 67 SLQ should look good even in a bad pic.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I think it is a bad picture. I don't doubt that that coin looks better in person. Still, I doubt it actually looks like a 67.
