Newps for the SLQ Collection

MFH · January 13, 2012 7:35AM

These are mostly upgrades - a few because I just liked their looks.

JMW · January 13, 2012 7:38AM

Nice coins Mike!

GoldClause · January 13, 2012 7:41AM

Love the 19

Broadstruck · January 13, 2012 7:43AM

The strike and head on the 18-P are spectacular...

Definitely one of just a few + coins I've seen that could easily be in the next solid whole grade holder and no one would argue!

How much for the 1918? I can't believe it isn't in a 66 holder!

Meltdown · January 13, 2012 8:03AM

That 26-D is SWEET - Are those die cracks up top on the obverse?

Broadstruck · January 13, 2012 8:11AM

<< How much for the 1918? I can't believe it isn't in a 66 holder! >>

Below is Bear's MS66+FH for comparison there's a LOT of coin in MFH's holder for the sub MS65FH monies.

Beautiful !!!
That 1918 looks "awesome".
Thanks for sharing the photos.

bosco5041 · January 13, 2012 9:24AM

I like the toning on the 26-d. I purchased a 1917-d type II with that kind of toning and had to pay a premuim for it but it was worth it.

gummibear · January 13, 2012 9:29AM

Nice group. I really like the 26d. Just the hints of color work better to highlight rather than hide the design.

I bought the 26-D from Tom B and as he had it as a consignment - he had to ask more for it than I thought it should be - but the toning is great !

Here's my other 26-D in MS 64:

Cocoinut · January 13, 2012 10:06AM

All nice coins. The '18-P has a good strike, and the '26-D has unusually good color for a SLQ, but my favorite is the '19-P. The rivets on the shield don't get much better!

Jim

MarkInDavis · January 13, 2012 10:07AM

I love the 1918!

Broadstruck · January 13, 2012 11:26PM

I like the 1919-P too... I completely missed it scrolling through ALL the SLQ goodies you posted yesterday

Broadstruck · January 13, 2012 11:29PM

<< That 26-D is SWEET - Are those die cracks up top on the obverse? >>

Meltdown, Yes quite common on the 26-D and if you look real close there's even a "rim cud" at 11 o'clock right over the "I" in LIBERTY.

MFH · January 13, 2012 11:33PM

Mr. Young Eyes.

I had to expand the images on the iPad to see that rim cud.
I was aware of the die cracks but not the cud. Thanks, B/S.

Your welcome

I think that's formally Jon R's of RCNH's 26-D from his personal set of toned slq's.

MFH · January 14, 2012 12:51AM

I bought it when I was with you in Baltimore - from TomB ...

Billet7 · January 14, 2012 12:54AM

Very, very nice stuff. I really like that the full-heads are ACTUAL full heads...not mostly full that slid-on-by.

The 18 is what full head REALLY means...but the 19 has a better shield.

rawmorgan · January 14, 2012 12:59AM

I know nothing of this series, but would like to. Is the 26-D always so softly struck?

MFH · January 14, 2012 1:18AM

<< I know nothing of this series, but would like to. Is the 26-D always so softly struck? >>

Yes, its a normally soft strike.

Here is the one I had in my last set - which I sold off a few years ago:

This is the best struck 26-D I have ever seen. Its only in a PCGS 63 FH holder.

FYI - as you're new to the SLQ series - the 26-D & 26-S rank in the top five [5] hardest dates to locate in FH.

Broadstruck · January 14, 2012 1:19AM

<< I know nothing of this series, but would like to. Is the 26-D always so softly struck? >>

Yes the 26-D is rated at only having 1% surviving with full head details... The rest mostly look like ice cream scoops.

Many of the denver minted dates are the same 24, 28, and 29 are also extremely tough to locate with full strikes.

Broadstruck · January 14, 2012 1:20AM

<< I bought it when I was with you in Baltimore - from TomB ... >>

And you didn't show it to me

Wow some friend you are!

AuroraBorealis · January 14, 2012 1:33AM

Nice SLQ`s... That 26-D stands out!

......I just checked my Inventory book - I bought it from Tom B
in October - so - It must have been in Pittsburgh !!

Sorry !

MFH · January 22, 2012 7:58AM

Happy to announce the offical newp for the SLQ Collection -

I've flirted with her far too long - I'm glad to have her in "the Harem".

jom · January 22, 2012 8:06AM

The 26-D way down the page is one great coin....this new 19-S ain't bad either. Didn't you already have a 19-S? Wasn't it a FH??? Or was that a 19-D?

jom

MFH · January 22, 2012 9:07AM

Jom,

Yes, I bought a 1919-S in a PCGS 55 holder as a filler.
I have been after a MS version for awhile and I have liked
this 19-S for quite some time. My friend who sold me this
thinks I kidnapped his daughter !!

I need to resize the Obverse ( as I was told it's too large ! )

jom · January 22, 2012 9:38AM

<< My friend who sold me this

I'm sure if your friend is a true collector he probably thinks you did. In fact, I'd expect a visit from the authorities any time now.

Three months ago, I resubmitted this coin to NGC - and it received an upgrade to MS 63 +

Six weeks ago, I submitted it to PCGS and I got the grade tonight...

........................ MINT STATE 6 4 !! ............................

dizzyfoxx · April 30, 2012 9:27AM

Very nice group of SLQ's. One of my favorite series design from a pure beauty and eye-pleasing standpoint.

etexmike · April 30, 2012 9:35AM

I missed this great group of ladies on the first showing.

Glad I caught the rerun.

Beautiful.

Mike

kaz · April 30, 2012 9:42AM

Congrats on the upgrade of the 19-s; that is a VERY attractive coin!

metalmeister · April 30, 2012 10:50AM

Nice SLQ's! Favorite design on post 1900 quarters by a mile.

messydesk · April 30, 2012 11:12AM

Congrats on the upgrade. It's about time it landed in a 64 holder.

Excellent! I guess NGC isn't as lenient as some think.

I'd love to see this one in hand some day....

you can upgrade your collection in the auction of this set at Philly summer ANA

MFH · April 30, 2012 1:29PM

<< you can upgrade your collection in the auction of this set at Philly summer ANA >>

This is true, however, my current set was collected with one thing in mind:
NO COINS OVER MS 64 + ... And, no overdate will be included !!

I don't think there is one coin ( other than the overdate in 64+ FH )
that falls into that category.

I am missing the 1927-S - but I have not seen one that I liked well enough
because none are available when I have been looking. My last set had a 27-S
in a PCGS 64 holder, and, I never liked it... It was just a hole filler. This time,
I won't buy one unless I really love it.

I only saw one I liked that I could even remotely afford. A nicely toned MS63 or it was a 58...I can't remember. Harry Laibstain had it about 5/6 years ago. I was just a tad too much for me so I passed. They aren't real easy to find though. However, some of the earlier dates are just as tough if not more. You've got one in the 19-S though....

Dave99B · April 30, 2012 3:04PM

Howdy Mike -

Great material man, as usual. You have wonderful taste, brother. Just amazing SLQs.

Love them all, but both 19-s examples blow my mind. BLOW MY MIND!!!

Dave

mikeyg · April 30, 2012 3:55PM

Mike you got some fantastic ladies there.I'd like at least one in a FH MS 64 but I know as soon as I buy one,I'll see a much better example so I wait....

lasvegasteddy · April 30, 2012 5:35PM

sweet slq's there...congrats...i really dig those first 2...
