Well after having been talked about a few times here, and I am sure you already know, there are things to look for with the 1916 SLQ but as far as the 23-S I don't know of any. I have a SLQ that looks about the same, when I tilt it just right and the lighting is correct I think I can see the last digit is a "7". The mintmark is a "D". It has the 3 stars on the reverse so that rules out the 1917D Type 1. The way the date is so worn I am thinking it is a 1917D Type 2.  |

Also the lump of metal where the end of the "2" used to be is visible. The 3 in the date always survives when the rest of the date is worn. I've owned a couple of these in similar grades. Compare it to the positioning in this F-15 1923-s http://www.ebay.com/itm/1923-S-STAN...em43acafa0a4It's definitely at least a 1923 imho. Now there is always the possibility of an added mint mark, and because of this it may be worth sending to ANACS. It looks VG-F gradewise. |

If the date is raised on the surface as opposed to incuse on the 1927-d, you are probably right. On many of these pre-25 slqs that have the date worn off, the last digit is the last to go, so you will see detail on that one when everything else is worn off. |

I see the 3, PLAINLY. That extreme close-up shot does NOT do the coin any justice at all. In the shot that shows the whole coin, the 3 is as plain as the nose on, well, MY face, anyway...

Exactly - in the pic of the whole coin, the 3 is clearly visible under the left foot location........
However, lets just call it a dateless slick and I'll send you $7 for it. :-)

I can see the three...once I enlarged to picture to 200%. It's a dark three but, it's there!

It looks like part of a 5 to me but I need to see another 1923 to be sure.

Ok, I found a good 1923 and put it over this 1923 in Photoshop, then set the transparency close to 0. Sure enough, I see the 3 clear as day now. Funny how that works.

As far as I can tell, there is absolutely nothing there. The area circled looks like a simle lump of tarnish. Worn and I must have the same vision. I am going to have to send it in and see what happens.
Or hit it with Nic A Date

OK, no sooner than I posted that than I picked up a regular 23 and gave it a hard look. Sure enough, NOW the 3 is clear on the S coin. Still, I would not buy it and spend that kind of money without it being rated by one of the 4 TPGs. So if I am to get her a good value on the coin, off to ANACS it goes. Along with the two 32 D&S Washington quarters in this collection. Edited by smokeriderdon

Good luck with the TPG - unless those of us that see the 3 are absolutely delirious, you should be happy with the results. |
