One of the Most Attractive SLQ's I've Seen

dragon · January 19, 2011 2:32AM

What do you think?

DoubleEagle59 · January 19, 2011 2:36AM

Wow, that is nice.

From the pic, you've got to grade that at least ms66.

That looks like a coin that was part of a group, bought by a forum member years ago and for which images were posted.

Justacommeman · January 19, 2011 2:39AM

Stunning and I agree. MJ

LoveMyLiberty · January 19, 2011 2:43AM

Is that a DDO IGWT & L ?

TomB · January 19, 2011 2:43AM

Was it from that raw type set shown on the boards years ago?

QuarterCollector · January 19, 2011 2:44AM

I'd buy her. Outstanding example. Do you own her?

tradedollarnut · January 19, 2011 2:45AM

I think the coin is amazingly beautiful, however - I don't think it's market acceptable these days

llafoe · January 19, 2011 2:45AM

Stunning!

I was surprised when I opened this thread... I thought I was going to see a photo of the Most Attractive Salt Lake (city drag) Queen!

I haven't done a search for that set, but my guess was/is yes.

I hate to say it but I agree with the above, I cannot imagine that coin ever landing in a PCGS holder (not that it necessarily needs to be to be appreciated).

Just cut out a square of the board and submit it in situ. That'll prove a point.
Unless there's wiping hairlines, of course.

I think it's truly a shame if any TPG finds fault with that coin's toning.

AUandAG · January 19, 2011 3:28AM

It's pretty. First thought when looking at the reverse is that it is AT. Hope not.

ajman · January 19, 2011 3:44AM

Absolutely gorgeous!

RunnersDad · January 19, 2011 3:45AM

That is one beautiful SLQ!

Elcontador · January 19, 2011 4:20AM

It's certainly attractive, but I've never seen an SLQ with that kind of toning before. I'd want to see the coin in hand and check with someone I think is an expert in the NT / AT matter before considering a purchase....

Assuming the coin "passes the test," I probably wouldn't buy it because attractively toned coins in this series bring very strong premiums, and this coin in MS 65 or 66 FH is a type coin.

ANACONDA · January 19, 2011 4:40AM

It does. I have seen those colors on SLQs before, in NGC holders. But like TDN implied, you might have very tough time getting it into either an NGC or PCGS holder.

coinlieutenant · January 19, 2011 4:41AM

That coin was from a group a forum member bought a few years back in a custom holder. All the coins are graded as far as I know...don't remember PCGS or NGC.

I think NGC graded them and that the quarter graded 66FH or 67FH, probably with a star.

stockergreen · January 19, 2011 8:27AM

Nice coin for sure.Unusual toning for a SLQ.

Bochiman · January 19, 2011 8:29AM

Don't show that toning to Bushmaster

Cratylus · January 19, 2011 9:58AM

Yuck. Toning. Cheers... RickO

jom · January 19, 2011 10:38AM

Aren't there a number of similarly toned 1929's around like that? Many have been graded by PCGS. Or I'm a thinking of another date? Mark, didn't you have one for sale recently?

Also, I find it hard to believe that could be considered not "market acceptable".

You're thinking of a group of 1928 Quarters which look quite similar to each other. But they look very different from the coin in this thread.

Here is one of the 1928's that I sold previously:

lordmarcovan · January 19, 2011 11:10AM

It's gorgeous, but good luck getting it holdered. You know somebody somewhere will have a knee-jerk "AT" reaction to it. I think the element of doubt would be strong enough to potentially cause it some problems at a TPG.

ChrisRx · January 19, 2011 11:24AM

Not to be a downer but I'll bet it bags.

tumbleweedtrumpet · January 19, 2011 11:25AM

Wow! That's, that's awesome!

Connecticoin · January 19, 2011 12:19PM

It graded 66*FH at NGC. I wonder of Crazy4Coins still owns it?

coinguy1 · January 19, 2011 12:24PM

<< Not to be a downer but I'll bet it bags. >>

It appears that you lost your bet, as the coin apparently graded.

stealer · January 19, 2011 12:35PM

Slabbed or not my first impression was AT

AuroraBorealis · January 19, 2011 12:51PM

It looks like the OP`s coin is a 29? As a comparison here is my 29-S and we all love it in the this house...I purchased it from a very respected dealer a few years back and sits in the same older holder today...

Please bare with my lacking photography skills and my way out to lunch white balance...In hand it`s absolutely stunning with blasting luster...

blu62vette · January 19, 2011 12:57PM

PCGS 66+FH, not mine, just the imager

keets · January 19, 2011 1:03PM

here's my toned SLQ in an ANACS holder.

EagleEye · January 19, 2011 1:13PM

In general, I think most silver coins from the 1916-1932 time frame with colorful target toning were likely dipped a one point on the past. The typical toning is gray for most silver coins, including commems prior to 1933.

keets · January 19, 2011 1:18PM

Rick, take Silver out of that post, substitute "cleaned" for dipped and push the date farther back and we'd be in agreement!!

TPRC · January 19, 2011 2:13PM

I'm certainly no expert on toning and color, and the coin looks beautiful, but it looks like there's a drop of red paint on the eagle's tail. Can someone explain to me how that could occur naturally? On the other hand, the other coins do looks naturally toned to me.

Baley · January 19, 2011 2:23PM

folks sharing their toned SLQs, here's one of mine

toned in the holder, but nothings a sure thing these days

Elcontador · January 19, 2011 4:35PM

Jom - I've seen a 29 P 6 FH in a PC holder that had uniform ice blue tinged toning on both obverse and reverse in 1999.

coindudeonebay · January 19, 2011 5:33PM

<< I think the coin is amazingly beautiful, however - I don't think it's market acceptable these days >>

I have to agree with this comment. And, have to say, even though I like the coin, I believe it to be full on AT.

WoodenJefferson · January 19, 2011 6:30PM

They can take it out of the oven now, it appears to be fully cooked.

Gorgeous coin. I bought a capped bust dime from you and it's still one of my favorite coins.

Perhaps it appears that way to you and some others.

However, the coin was likely stored in the album page that was imaged/shown for a long time (and without any intent that it tone) by a previous owner. It and the others in the type set album it came from, might be very good examples of naturally toned coins that are questionable (to some), due solely to their beauty and unusual color. But not because of the storage method, time or intent involved.

Prethen · January 19, 2011 11:04PM

Looks cooked to me.

bushmaster8 · January 19, 2011 11:05PM

I'm on the fence as far as the OP. Wish I could hold it...

I saw that coin in hand at the Houston $ Show - What a Beauty!!

I bought a 1917 Type 1 MS67FH SLQ from David instead.....

I've seen a few coins come out of those old acid laiden press board coin holders where the rims are jet black and a bit porous. They just stayed in that environment for too long a period and if left there, the tarnish would eventually creep into the surfaces of the design. It appears since it has been holdered, it was removed in the nick of time.

One of the Most Attractive SLQ's I've Seen
