Anyone Working On An SLQ Collection [ 1916-1930 ] ?

I like standing liberty's, but don't have enough money to do a UNC set, so I am doing VG - VFs.

A very attractive set can be had in VF 35 - to XF 45
Below 35 I feel the wear impedes the visual of the design.

Take your time - my 1st set took me 6 years to complete
and I never found the 27-S that I liked. I did an AU 55+
set the first time.

Also buy coins without the scooped out head effect. Be fussy.
The fussier you are, the easier it is to sell when the time comes.

Remember, coins from 1917 to 1924 [ Ty 2 ] have weaker dates than those 1925-1930.
Its all because the dates were raised on the Ty 2's and recessed on the Ty 3's.

What is the "scooped out head" effect?

The head is concave - not convex. It looks like someone took a spoon and carved 3/4's of the head out. I don't have one - but will find one for you to compare.

They are usually priced at Grey Sheet Ask

Here is as good a FH as you'll likely find...


I have to do some digging for the scooped out heads.

Elbesaar, your SLQ's are absolutely stunning! You have inspired me to begin collecting this series. I appreciate the advice you've given in your posts.

.........1926..................

Incredible!

I'm looking for the "right" 1927-S ... I really have never found one. Its got to be the worst struck date of the entire series.

Here's the one I had in my last set:
