I went to a Antiques & Collectibles shop yesterday. Looking through their selection, I came across a 1917
type 1 SLQ that he/she has graded AU. It's toned, FH, and a nice all around good lookin' coin. The original
crossed out price was $175 now $150. I told the proprietor to call the owner of the coin(s) to see if I could
get a better price; she in turn, called me today saying the owner will go no lower than $140. MAN...The coin's
a "Real looker!" I'd hate to pass on it; however, my knowledge regarding SLQs is NIL.
Do you think I should GO FOR IT?

What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

I don't know the bid/ask but is it about right?
If you like it, and have the chance to look at it in person (which you have), then for that amount, I would say "go for it"...if you really like it.
If you "overpay" by a few dollars, so what? You will have seen it and are already saying it is PQ looking, right?
May not be a pure "rip" but a good coin nonetheless.
Heck, if you get it, take a pic, and decide you don't want it, and it hasn't been cleaned or monkey'ed with, give me a shout and I would like it buy it from you for no loss for you (I am looking for a type1 for my type set).
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Yes! At one time I'd owned one in NGC AU-53 if memory serves me, may've been 55. It tops the one that I'd owned.

Buy it then. It sounds like a decent deal. I'm looking to upgrade this for my 7070.
17 SLQ T1
My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.
John, for the wear and the grade, that one doesn't look too bad at all!

I was terribly disappointed when it came back PCGS AU 50...NO WAY MAN, but what do you expect for a so called free submission... Until I master posting I may get smoeone to post it for me. It must be a 58 and has a FH but PCGS didn't attribute it and the grading, in retrospect, was a harbinger of what was to come so far this year. I suppose they graded it as such so I'd resubmit it for real money vs "Free". Gorgeous old Lady. Nice Full Boob too!
Well, it's a start. ttt
Two outta 3 ain't bad!
