1919-D SLQ Newp! Opinions Welcome

This was a new purch that walked in today. I think it will probably one day reside in a 65fh holder, but my expectations due to the priceiness of a 65 fh is I'll get either a 65 plain or 64fh designation first time out. No ticks or garbage thats not easily visible in the photos and the coin does not have the dreaded friction on the top of the leg that holds a lot of slq to 63 or less. I figure if I want the 65fh I'll have to boot it in quite a few times to get it, but the coin has a legit shot. now I dont know how tough it is to get a fh designation anymore and the standards change from time to time, so any slq guys have a guess. Theres a little more definition to the head than I could get as I'm not great with a digital camera. Fire away!

    not a FH IMO. Still a nice coin though!

    I like the die cracks!

    it looks like it has pretty good luster and what i see on the leg looks like unstruck planchet flaws, not post strike marks. i like the look of the reverse and don't recall ever seeing an SLQ with a die crack like that. what do they call that, character??image the ear hole and full-headedness doesn't quite look like it's there, though, but you would be a better judge with the coin in hand. your assessment seems OK.

    Full head or not, it has tons of eye appeal...Nice coin!

    This came into (your store, I presume) as a raw coin? - holy cow - what else did they have?

    Nice coin! The cracks at the date and wing tips are common and a good way to tell the "D" from the "P".

    Nice coin.

    It makes me wonder what I'd offer for it raw like that if the customer said " what'll you give me for it?"

    I think I'd start at around 1000 if I thought it was "right"

    I love the look of this coin, and I agree, not a FH, but nice regardless. The only marks that stick out to me are the one next to Liberty on the right, in the field, and the under the eagle on the rev under the left wing.


    The die crack on the rev is just cool too, dont recall seeing alot of SLQ's with cracks like that.
  • QuarterCollectorQuarterCollector Posts: 1,384 ✭
    I concur....

    Not a full head but a very nice example. I love the die cracks around the date and the color on the reverse. Should go MS65

    A 1881 proof cam indian that might or might not holder. And some assorted other junk that was really run of the mill. I think the guy bought a few power coins when he had some extra cash or something.

    I would say a MS-65. It does not make full head but is 90% FH
    due to softness of hairline in the middle and questionable ear
    hold. On the whole, a very beautiful coin and well worth a top price.

    64, not quite a FH... however, a really nice coin with a ton of character...

    Does the strike of the shield have a correlation to whether or not they give FH or not?

    Many full head strikes have a few soft rivets. If a coin is FH with
    Full rivets, then that is worth an extra premium all other things
    being equal.

    Not at all. I've seen FHs where the center of her torso is so weak the shield is barely outlined.

    Nice looking SLQ ... and a very, very tough coin!

    Will not FH IMO ... although the ear hole is present, and the three leafs are present, the hairline is not ...

    I see a few field distractions on both the obv and rev, I think ... so I'd wag it's a 64 shot 65 ... but very pretty, and as you know, one tough coin all the way around

    Nice pickup!
