14 Days Of Standing Liberty Quarters! Post Yours!

No 1916 for me. I have to wait til April 1st. Guess the jokes on me! I'll just wait patiently.

I had this sneaking suspicion today might start this thread off a little slow...

Don't worry, I will post tonight when I get off of work. :-)

I was hoping Johnny would come through

And I've got these coming (so maybe...just maybe...I'll be able to post one of my own 1916!! Hey! I can dream! Quit bringing reality into this!)

Ok, here they are! If you guys aren't bored of them by now. I will also post the ones I found but later sold. Here is the first junk lot find.

ANACS FR02 (This one has been sold)









Second junk lot find. Also ANACS FR02 (Also Sold)











3rd one found. ANACS PO-1. This one I am about to trade with a forum member(I wont reveal his name, but he can speak up if he wants credit for it).









Here is one I bought as a raw single.(NOT A JUNK LOT SCORE) Disappointingly, it only got an AG3 from ANACS, but will resubmit. This is currently the one that is in my collection.







Oh, and I think I have one more junk lot score on the way.Trying to finish strong for the thread! I Just won this lot in a large lot today, but sheesh; the competition is quite fierce! I just barely won on a last second snipe. If this isn't a 16, I'm in trouble. I'm pretty sure it is and should grade FR02, but I'll know for sure next week.



I'm trying to figure this out. I've come across 3, likely 4 in a year undiscovered in these lots; and I can only imagine how many I've missed! However, lookking back at the Heritage archives in the last 20 years; you will see that there are only 3 certified examples in the 1-2 grade range. ONLY 3 in 20 YEARS!! And just a couple more that graded AG. Compare that with the number of low grade 16-d mercs or 77 Indian cents of which there are many hundreds of sold in the archives!

So I'm sure the 1916 slq is still a rare coin in lower grades. Though I've worked very hard searching for them, I'm not that lucky to find this many. My conclusion is though it is still a rare coin, I think the ratio of "undiscovered raw" to " TPG certified" is much much higher than most keys. There just ARENT many of these in plastic, period. Folks are now starting to understand how to find them, and hopefully it will continue on. This is the best way for someone to be able to complete an SLQ set without taking out a second on their mortgage imho.

keep searching all!
