    What are the grades, JB?

    I'll guess AU55 and EF40.



    Here's the only one of my SLQ's I have a picture of

  • Both are ANACS. The 1918-D is an AU58FH. Although the luster is little flat, it is AU, and it has great details for a branch mint, and a nice full head. I agree with the grade. The 1919-S is an AU50. It may be a bit generous for this coin, but look at the shield detail on the inner and outer lines, and the remaining definition of the inner shield. Perhaps it got a little bump becuase it is a semi-key date in the series, and it's got some beautiful original toning with totally unmessed with surfaces. It may come back as a PCGS XF45, but I won't be cracking this coin.

    I guess Xpipe's is an MS64.

    Barry, that is one fine coin. Absolutely beautiful, and a total rarity to boot. Nice.

    Mine is graded 65, but it's only NGCimage It has a bit more panache in person.


    Yeah, that 1918 is really great looking...nice detail and everything. And the toning on the 1919 is very neat! I was probably a little harsh with EF40image


    And Barry...is that 1918/7 yours? Yowza!

    Thanks guys.

    Xpipe - yes, it's mine. I bought it a few months ago. I'm not actively collecting SLQs now, but couldn't resist that one when I saw it. It's been posted in a few other threads, but not everybody reads every thread, so figured I'd use it for this one too.
  • Boiler,

    That would be one of my favorites too. Here's another of mine, it's raw, but has some nice album tone.

    Here is my first full head Standing Liberty quarter. It is a 1929-S I bought from tonelover about 2 years ago. I showed it to him again when I was at the FUN show last January. He remembered the coin image


    For the quarter to be a full head, it has to have the 3 sprigs in the hair (type II), the hairline around the face, and the earhole. It it doesn't have all 3, it is just a good head. imageimage

    Merc,

    Although I couldn't see the exact detail of the head of your 29-S...what what I could see from the posted photo, its a FH, not a marginal FH, but a dyed in the wool FH.

    Nice pick up. Jon of RCNH has a wonderful set himself, and glad he's sharing his dup's with us.

    Get that 29-S holdered, you'll be very pleasantly surprised.

  • Baley, nice coins. I especially like the toner, but I remember your thread on the 28, and have seen it in its new album home. Good stuff.

    MICHAELDIXON, cool coin. You don't see that color on Standing Libs very often.

    coinpage, I must question as well. Even if PCGS calls that a full head, it's lacking the earhole, so I wouldn't call that a full head coin. Nice color though.

    FullHorn, my very first SLQ looks like that, it was a VF/XF 17P I got on ebay about 4 years ago. I love the original grey surfaces. SLQs have been about all I collect starting and since then.

    Crackout, I'd be thanking FullHorn too, that coin is a beauty.

    Merc, a nice example of a white coin with a nice full head.

    Jason, I like original so I of course like your coin.

    Harbon, in my book, any SLQ is a nice SLQ.

    Theop, a nice coin for a 26-D. Very decent head for that year and mintmark. Most are totally flat or scooped out.

    Typetone, what can be said. Beautiful color.

    Okay, here's another from me. Minimal full head, but very nice original color, golds and russets. Would probably go higher than 63 if dipped, but who would do such a thing?

    That 1919 NGC MS 68 is what I call an Anaconda ! What a monster ! It looks FH from the scan. It'd be a hard coin to forget.
