There was no real 'plan' when I bought this, just a gamble on a bad pic in an ANACS holder at an 'average auction' price. It was a winner, but really isn't a good fit for my album of VF coins. Busted it out, sent it for grading and Trueview, and am now thinking it could be the start of a fun set.

A nice AU coin. It will be difficult to find a set with such colors
Stick with coins that have nice, bold dates such as the 1920 you have started with.
Yes.............but still a nice start.

That is one gorgeous coin! Good luck in your endeavor. I've managed to assemble a date set myself but not in grades like yours.
It looks like a keeper!

For whatever reason, 1920 SLQs show up with nice more often than any other date. So.....if you are looking to do a set of those, at least you know you have the easiest one done!!!

Really nice SLQ!
really nice looking coin. good luck with the new set
HAPPY COLLECTING
Very nice coin! I’d expect nothing less from you. Unfortunately, the date set still has the same stopper unless you want to start with 1917.
It is true that 1920 SLQs come nice. My Type 2a type coin is a 1920 and there is a small group of them in 67/67+ that have similar concentric rainbow toning.
Sweet coin! Love to have it in my set too!
Nice coin! If you are intent on building a set, the start with a 1917 Type 1 in the best condition you can afford. That will give you a really nice design and encourage further collecting. Next, buy the best 1917 Type-II (as fully struck as possible) you can afford - that will give you a base of comparison for future purchases.
BEAUTIFUL COIN!
Early Philadelphia mint coins have much better strikes than the branch mints. The most well struck of the lot is the 17 P Type 1.

HOLY CRAP! What a beauty.
Alain don’t play.
That is really really nice!
Don't fall for this TRAP!!!
LOL!
Superb series that is TOUGH to learn and collect by date AND mint. Second only to Buffalo nickels.
Nice coin... good luck with the set!
Nice looking SLQ. I am building (slowly) an XF set with that "I was well carried" look. Best of luck with your set.

Highest mintage of the entire series may explain the large numbers of "nice" ones.
And that is one of them!
Really nice album tone! Great choice for an addictive series.

The SLQ is an interesting coin and would make a great set to build/complete. Good start... Cheers, RickO
Buy the last of edition of the book by the late Jay Cline. He was the dealer - authority on the series. I did a quick Google seach, and the coin is available on-line.
Or you could put a Barber quarter in the 1916 slot and hope nobody notices.

Really a pretty coin. A gamble that paid off big.
