Quote: nice! so how much do you think it could be worth? grade depending? It depends....problem free FR02s usually between $1,100-$1,500 depending on the market and the quality of the coin. I've also seen a PR1 sell for $1,500 too(check the Heritage archives). Several things affect the market. There aren't very many low grade 16s out there. In one sense the demand is high because everyone needs this coin to complete an SLQ set, for both a date only set and a date/mm set. A full dated 1916 slq will be 5K+, so this is one of the few alternatives that are relatively affordable. However, the fact that the coin has no date turns a lot of prospective buyers off thereby limiting the demand. This is a lower end FR02 imho, so I'd expect to get lower 4 figures on it on ebay, but you never know. I'll probably list it as a BIN for a while and see what happens.

Thanks! Here is the craziest lot I've seen yet from this seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...77152284&ru=http://shop.ebay.com:80/%3F_from=R40&_npmv=3&_trksid=m570&_nkw=250677152284%2B&_fvi=1&_rdc=1 No, I didn't win it nor did I bid, but that is quite a rare prize for a junk lot.

HOLY SMOKES! A 1901-S in that condition in a junk lot? Wow. That is a great price to have gotten on the lot considering the 01-S alone is worth at least double or triple that amount.
I wonder if the seller hadn't listed the years if the final price would've been lower......

As long as that coin is genuine(quite likely since all the keys found so far from him have been), that buyer made out really well. You really just never know what might turn up in his lots. Next up, 1856 flying eagle!

You should post some picture of it Vanbro. Yeah, that was a killer G-4, and I just barely missed it. The seller told me he would put it on layaway for me, but I didnt take him up on it. I have no one to blame but myself for not jumping on it, but at the same time 3 grand is a lot of money..lol.

Hi Johnny ,
Sorry , but I do not own a camera. The "IN GOD WE TRUST" was not as clear and distinct on my coin as on the PCGS G-4 you posted, But my coin does have a full date , but worn across the top. I am not sure what parts of the coin the graders look at, but I believe the date or lack thereof is an important consideration on the 1916 SLQ.

Side question, from a coin in the auction posted earlier, this one. Thanks! Here is the craziest lot I've seen yet from this seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...i=1&_rdc=1No, I didn't win it nor did I bid, but that is quite a rare prize for a junk lot. the 1909 (I think) 3rd row down, second coin from the left. It has a clean stripe through the middle. I have seen this pattern on plenty other coins. Is there recognized reason for this? Sorry for change of topic. trying to learn where I can.

when I first looked at the 18s on page three, it looked like an 8/7.
