And its the real deal!!!! Graded an AG3.

I thought it would grade a G-4. Or maybe no matter how good the rest of the coin looks, if there is no date they can't grade it higher??

    That has more of a date than most junk box 1916 SLQs I see, but needs more to grade G4.

    Very nice junk box find. I think it is correctly graded as an AG3. I believe you need to see much more of the date for anything higher. Even still, at melt, yo did just fine.

    You know that's an actually good coin for a junk box find, if I were on a budget I wouldn't mind buying that one since you can make out part of the 6, and its original.
  • illini420illini420 Posts: 11,466 ✭✭✭✭✭
    you can see enough of the 6 on that one that I wouldn't consider it "undated" as the only part of the date that matters is there. nice find and I would have graded it G4!!!

    True, but a 1926 does exist.

    Yeah, but even still, it is obvious it is a 1916 by more than just the hair. For example, if one did not know the different between the hair and other elements on the obverse, all they would have to do is look on the reverse to see if the stars are there. In this coin, see an obvious 6 on the obverse, flip over and see no stars, results in a YIPPEEEEE!!!

    26 looks nothing like a 16, hair style, shield, bottom of the gown, and the recessed date , not to mention the reverse. apples and oranges

    Graded AG3 but has such a wonderful, smooth look, I bet it sells for GD4 money.

    Sorry to correct you rampage,but I believe that the 1917 type 1 also has no stars on the reverse.In the posters case I think that the 6 is evident so yes time to celebrate.I have a few of these(without an obvious 6) that I take out every so often to look at and hope that just maybe it is the 1916.

    No, Rampage is right, if you see a 6 on the obverse, flip it over, and there is no stars, you have a 1916. Read his post again, and the ones prior to it. Context, my friend... >>



    And you really don't even need to clearly identify the last digit as a 6. You just need to be able to be sure it's not a 7.

    So when a dealer says, "It's worth melt" , he means it. And that's how the CHERRYPICKERs get rich, quick. It takes ages to master the art of what is really involved in "THE GAME".

    Nice score. Fascinating, actually.

    Without question this is a 1916. The reverse of the 1926 has stars and even if someone
    removed the stars, the 1926 eagle is in a higher position. As already noted, the 1926 has
    the date recessed in the plinth.

    Congratulations on an unbelievable find! This is at least a $3000 coin!

    Super coin and super find. Congrats. This looks MUCH better than any other no date 1916 SLQ's I've seen.

    That's a heckuva nice cherrypick! Wow!

    You can actually SEE part of the date!

    I think this is worthy of the smiley mosaic:

    In fact it looks just as good as the Good-6 they have:

    Use those pics as a reference and send the coin in for reconsideration as it does have a large value jump for the grad and fantastic find by the way.

    sending it in again is a waste of your money and sending it in with a photo doesn't make any sense to me

    where is the reverse of the coin you are comparing it to?
