I keep looking at the distinctions for determining if a coin is a 1916 or 1917 SLQ, But this one is to worn for me to tell. The Shield really looks like a 1916 to me.

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 08/05/2011 10:24 pm that one is a type 2. 1917-1930. the stars may have worn off the reverse, but the shield, hair and robe are all of type 2. Sorry. Edited by johnny54321 08/05/2011 10:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I usually look at the shield, and head because I am not 100% sure what to look for with the robe. Edited by Canadian-Banknotes 08/05/2011 10:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The portion of her robe next to her right foot is angled downwards as well, where as on type 1s, it curls down, then up like a smiley face. I can see light traces of shield rivets that have lots of space in between(type1 shield rivets are much closer together, and a 1916 will usually have little to no trace of rivets at this grade). I don't know if I did a good job explaining it. Here is a dateless 16 to compare to. Edited by johnny54321 08/05/2011 11:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It is a type 2 which started halfway through 1917. Sorry! (And of course, I will look at Johnny's '16 SLQ anytime!!) Report this Post to the Staff

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 08/06/2011 08:14 am The angle of the hair is easy to see (to even an amateur like myself) Get a bunch with the "cowlick" hair (type1) to discern between 1916 and 1917 and it gets interesting, although several here (johnny) are quite good at it Report this Post to the Staff
