northwestseeker Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 11:16 pm About six months ago, I started buying "junk" silver lots on ebay which I now tend not to do because of the enormous amount many sellers would demand for shipping to AK. Recently I was trying to make room for some recent acquisitions and found this...not sure how I missed it but I apparently did. Which brings me to why I am here, I have a couple of questions about this SLQ, what date is it, what grade is it and how much is it worth oh and which variety is it? Report this Post to the Staff

cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 11:25 pm It's definitely a 1917 Type 1. I'm not real familiar with grading these...maybe G4? Worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $20. Nice find in a junk silver lot! Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 12:30 am Definitely type 1 1917 like cwb said! I would grade it AG overall due to the reverse wear into the lettering, though the obverse looks G-4 Report this Post to the Staff

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2604 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 2:58 pm I agree with it being 1917 Type 1, great find in a junk lot- worth about 4-5x what you paid. Report this Post to the Staff

bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 6:14 pm you can tell it's a type 1 because there are no stars under the eagle on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
