1916 SLQ. For me, I thought the lower curl on the robe is supposed to be more flat? Diagnostics anyone?

Looks like a no date to me.
It appears to be a 1917.

I don't know the diagnostics off the top of my head, without looking at the link previously posted.
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
and i bet that no one bids,
just think how much this cost him to put on ebay
edited to add........................................maybe !
The shield rivets on a 1916 are completely different from a 17 T1. Take a look at any certified genuine low grade 16. The various differences between the two types will hit you like a ton of bricks.
<< <i>HI,
I WENT TO YOUR SITE AND I SEEN THE EXAMPLES. I UNDERSTAND YOUR THEORY. NOW THE 1916 EXAMPLE IS 3X THE 1917'S LEG CLOSE UP. THE EXAMPLE IS NOT HEAVILY WORN AS MINE THUS EXPOSING THE LOOPED GOWN APPEARS LARGER AS DOES THE LEG, BEING ANKLE AND FOOT. THIS IS AN OPTICLE ILLUSION BECAUSE OF THE SUPER ZOOM ILLUSTRATION. THE HEAD MATCHES THE 1916 EXAMPLE AS WELL. NOW LETS EXPLAIN THE ..16 THAT IS VISUALLY AND FACTUALLY DEFINED? THIS IS NOT AN OPTICLE ILLUSION BUT A REAL 16 ! SO WHAT YOUR TELLING ME IS IT IS FOLLOW THE LEADER TIME AND THE WORLD IS FLAT? LET ME ADD THAT I AM INSULTED THAT YOU IGNORE THE PRESENCE OF THE XX16 AS IF YOU WERE THERE CRAFTING EVERY DIE USED FOR PRODUCTION WITH EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT OCCURED IN 1916 AND WHY EVERY COIN IN THE ENTIRE SERIES WAS BUMPED UP SEVERAL GRADES BECAUSE OF THE WEAK STRIKE THEORY. THE DATE IS 1916 AND YOU CAN ONLY CONCUR THAT THIS IS A 1916, IN YOUR CLASSIFICATION A VARIETY 1916.IN MINE A 1916 TYPE I SLQ. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT BUT I WILL GO WITH THE DATE AND NO STARS.
RESPECTFULLY,
MIKE

So, I sent him this in response:
<< <i>Optical illusion? Are you kidding me? There are many differences between a 1916 and other type 1's. the easiest to tell is the lower curl on the gown. That's because the coin is in such low grade. If you truly believe this coin is a 1916, send it in to ANACS, if it comes back as a 1916, I'll pay your fees on the coin and then you can sell it for twice your asking price. Let me know if you decide to send it in and let me know what you think when it comes back as a 17. Oh and I can partially see a 16 on there, but I believe the date was scratched in and then the coin worn down to make it look like a 16. I don't believe you did this, but I do believe it was done. >>
