Came across this type 2 , ‘17-S SLQ. Full outlined hairline, 3 leaves and ear hole. Reverse really pops!

    They got something on pcgs daily that's tells about the 1918/7 slq if anyone wants a quick read. Just for knowledge

    Thank you Morgan13. We all strive to collect what we can and the best quality that we can find and afford. Thanks for the compliment. Zack.

    I love SLQs. Over the years I have owned many examples, but currently might own just one. They are a fabulous design and one of the few that I think looks smashing untoned. Nicely done.

    @TomB, thank you and I also love this design in blast white. From a young age, l had always admired the extraordinary artistry of this design. Has to be in my top 3 favorites. So, so many were not struck up well enough to show the intended full details of this series. One of my favorites. Zack.

    One of the nicest designs on a coin.
    Sorry to double dip.

    Very nice coin. The details on the face makes it look like Lady Liberty has a beard.

    Hi Zack -
    Really like this one! Again, such a great design. Are you going to collect all 6 of the 1917’s? Personally, that’s my favorite year of the series; lots of variation!

    @Copperindian. Me too. I love those 1917 T-1 T-2 coins. One of the highlights of my days from collecting STD Quarters of old. And a shout out to Mr. Cline, wherever he is kicking back in the cosmos. sold me all but i of my 1917 coins. James

    Hey Ken. Me too. Yes, as they come my way, I plan on collecting the 1916-1930’s. Zack.

    Yep. Two of the rivets on the shield are soft but they're all there.

    I always dreamed of being a kid back in those days and opening a brand new roll of SLQs.

    I know it’s not likely too many kids got that opportunity, but one may dream anyway, it costs us nothing.

    That’s a great gem example! If you look at the pop numbers, the type 2 S is actually rarer than the type one S, even though the type one is more popular.
