I picked up this Type I 1917 SLQ at a coin show last weekend as an upgrade for my 7070 album:

Grade-This-1917-SLQ-Type-I Grade-This-1917-SLQ-Type-I

I figured that getting a nice toned example would lessen the odds that I would end up with yet another "harshly cleaned" coin. Plus, I thought it would make a nice companion piece to the other SLQ I have in my album:

Grade-This-1917-SLQ-Type-I Grade-This-1917-SLQ-Type-I

Anyway, the dealer graded the Type I at XF and I picked it up for a little over $100. With so much toning, I find it hard to compare with the grading examples over at PCGS (plus, they don't have many examples of the Type I to compare against). So, what say you?

Great toning! I'd put it at a XF-45.

I try to buy coins in this condition for my Dansco when I can, and yours is similar to my 1917 T-1, but a little better.

I'd say either EF 40 or 45. Either way, I like the look.

Buying a coin with that kind of toning almost guarantees an original "skin" coin. It's XF-40ish in my eyes. Nice pieces!

I would put it at EF-40, close to EF-45. Very nice coin!

EF-45 and love the toning. They will complement each other quite well in the 7070.
