Opinions, please on this 1928-D SLQ

JxnBoy

It's in an ANACS holder. Tell me what you think, please. I'll post the grade in a bit. I'll have some questions after I post the grade. Thanks.

I'll say MS64 Non-FH. In the pic the head looks a little softly struck & I don't see the ear hole.


Edit: After a second look I bumped up from 63 to 64.

Looks like MS64 to me.

It looks nice. MS65. Nice reverse. No FH.

It's no good.....You won't be happy with it. Just send it to me.

Lots of hits on the obverse, but oh that reverse is sweet looking. MS 64 non-FH

I give it a 66 because of the reverse being sooo nice.

Thanks for the complements so far. I thought this was one nice looking coin, too.

Well, a 28-D FH in 65 is worth about $5,000. I didn't pay anywhere near this. In fact, after reading many of your posts, I got an even better bargain than I'd imagined.

It's not a FH, but a decent head for the date. 28-D is a lot like 26-D; the premium for FH coins is more like 10x or 20x non-FH for these issues, unlike many other mintmarks. 26-D is still much tougher though.

Yes, the obverse has a few detractions, but the reverse, although my photo's a bit blurry, has nary a mark on it.

I'll post a picture of the holder in a bit.

It's so clear you can see through her dress, I'm no expert but I say 66. Now for the big question, Can I have it?

LanLord

MS64, no full head, but it will get a full navel

MS64, not FH. Too many ticks on the obverse to be a 65.

BillJones

The coin looks like an MS-64+ or maybe 65 from the picture, but it's not a Full Head. There is not ear hole.

Tassa

Nice looking SLQ.

I'm going with MS64, the front has some hits while the reverse is nice. No full head ofcourse as discussed by others.

Elcontador

Agree w 291 Fifth. There are too many contact marks on the obverse to go 5. Was wondering about the contact marks along the jaw line. Other than that, I like the coin. It's a typical Denver mint SLQ with a dished head. I don't think I've ever seen a Denver mint SLQ with a FH. Better than average strike and nice eye appeal.

The anticipation mounts! Tell us the grade!

I say MS64...Here's mine bought with my TAX BREAKS, thanks President Bush....

Bright White both sides......

Okay, here it is. The lustre is just screaming off this coin. I love SLQ's, and I picked this one off cheap because of the 'damage.'



UNC details, Net AU55. You can see a bit of what I think are rubber smears or splotches from the counting wheel. The holder picture shows it, but they're not really even visible in that first photo I showed. I will say that you have to hold it a specific angles to see the counting wheel marks. They're most apparent under the L and Y in Liberty and little across her right knee.

Question: Can the counting wheel damage be removed with acetone? Perhaps this has already been attempted. NCS? Any opinions?

And here's a Denver mint coin with a nice full head. I will say, they're difficult to find.

Wow, that's incredible. Somtimes you can make real scores with ANACS slabs. I didn't guess the grade because I don't have a clue on how to grade these. This is a beauty of a coin, regarldless of what's on the holder.

jcping

I saw about 10 counting wheel damage SLQs in the last 18 years. They all 1919-P. They came from the same roll. Without the wheel damage, they all are MS66 (or MS65). All damages of the 1919-P could be seen without any angle. You can talk to J. Cline about the roll. He could tell you the story.

Merc

Can you get a close up picture of the damage? Your pictures are nice but too small to see the details. I'd like to see what they call counting wheel damage.

ms70

Wow! That one slid right past all of us!

Bikingnut

MS65

David,

Couldn't see the counting wheel damage, tired old eyes I guess. The surfaces look very clean, the Obv looked 64, and the Rev looked 66. I was about to say its a 65, but you had already posted the holdered image. So I couldn't really post an unbiased opinion.

Nice pick up. Congrats.

Mike
