I got a SLQ in change from cafeteria this morning...
It's pretty worn out but I think think this is the X-rated one... image

Wonder if they will slab it?

    As for the "X rated one" just look for stars under the eagle on the reverse. If it does not have them, then it is a type 1.

    Cool Rusty:

    the last time I saw one of those in circulation was in the 60's!

    If the coin is problem-free and a Type 1, it can be slabbed dateless if the area at the mintmark is distinct and the area around Liberty's feet and the robe drapery is distinct. The 1916's had a slightly different way the robe draped at the feet than the 1917's did.

    If they do, Braddick will be all over it.image

    I used to get SLQ's in change quite frequently. Of course, I'm old.

    I think I see one star under the eagle... a little to the left of the eagles breast.

    So this means it's a type 2?
    How many stars should it have?

    Thanks,

    Rusty.

    There would be 3 stars under the eagle. If it is a type 2, then it would be from 1917-1930 (although they changed it a bit in 1925, it would be hard to tell whether it is before or after)

    Well done! Even a dateless one in change is an accomplishment!

    PS- I have a theory that a lot of the dateless ones are from before they recessed the dates in 1925. So a Type 2 no-date might very well be ca. 1917-1924. This isn't foolproof, though- I've also seen post-1925 coins with their dates almost gone, so even the recessed dates wore out.

    Coin collecting is a crazy man's hobby.
    When I was a kid collecting coins in the 1950's, you got excited when you found a nice indian head cent or barber coin in change.
    Once I even got an 1853 w/arrows quarter in change.
    Now, people get a kick outta a 1964 dime.
    Coin collectors are crazy. Just plain crazy.
