Yes, and this is a '17 S T1, not just a melt SLQ.

Coin looks original to me. Weak date is of course less desirable but the complete obverse beads are a plus. The rim spot at 11:30 is a minor defect.
I wouldn't fault anyone for liking this coin!

I can buy low grade slq's in bulk for 7-10 bucks a piece at my local jewelry store. Not sure why your monkeying around with these. I think your getting ripped, bro. If you can buy 17-S type 1 SLQs for $7-10/ per then you should buy every one you can. I collect these extensively in F-EF and can say the obverse is a solid Fine. I think the reverse and the obverse spot at coinfrog mentioned hold it back a bit. I don't think the coin was a steal but I don't think it was a bad buy either, especially, being an S mint which is less common than the P mint. Despite the Fine obverse, I give it a VG-10 for the reasons stated above. |

I read the responses and don't think anyone came anywhere close to bashing you.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

F-12, original, and a decent price.

I would say it's a VG, mainly due to the very worn date, but also because of the incomplete shield, wear on the lower body, and wear on the reverse. Since there's no crud in the crevices of the devices, it's more believable that's it's been cleaned than not IMO. Still, at this grade probably doesn't matter much. It's a nice example and very good pics, BTW.

Welcome to our grading group Ron. I agree T1 slqs are graded mainly on the condition of the raised date which was exposed and rubbed off easily.

Thanks, numismatic student. Grading in this hobby is for self defense, as much as anything.

So close to F-12. I like the shield rivets but the weak date pushes it down to VG-10 IMO.

Does not look cleaned to me. I don't think you overpaid.

Another one came in as expected. Coins came from 4 different corners of the country but the circulated coloring of these SLQs was incredibly uniform.
