johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 05/11/2011 8:57 pm I still think it may be an altered 1917. All of the die characteristics are 1917 and the 6 in the date looks really worked over to me. I do see what some of you are saying, and it could be a complete fake, though I think they would have used a 1917 to make the fake transfer die(or electrotype) and just altered the last digit. Either way, there is absolute no chance this is a genuine 1916. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 05/11/2011 9:18 pm Looks like a Chinese counterfeit to me. Looks like a raised pimple in the field next to the eagle's wing. Whatever it is, one thing it is certainly not is a genuine 1916 SLQ. Report this Post to the Staff
mshev Valued Member United States 312 Posts	Posted 05/11/2011 9:39 pm Johnny - You're definitely right about it being based off of a 1917 - I just believe someone then took a mold of the thing and mass produced it. Report this Post to the Staff

Funny Money Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 05/11/2011 10:22 pm I agree with the 6 looking..."funky". You can kind of see where the seven would go, there's a kind of shadow...The 6 looks more prevalent then the rest of the date. imo Report this Post to the Staff
eledford21 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/11/2011 11:27 pm I appreciate all the great feedback. You all saved me from getting into a bad situation. Sadly, I think he will just try to to sell it to someone else. Report this Post to the Staff
rkrj Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 05/12/2011 2:02 pm I am no expert but I think it is a fake... something is off with the 6 in the date, I just can't put it into words Report this Post to the Staff

mdh157 Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 05/13/2011 7:30 pm i agree with a lot of the previous comments.......that 6 is not the norm for a '16 SLQ......either fake or a modified '17 Report this Post to the Staff

rjkingston Pillar of the Community United States 642 Posts	Posted 05/30/2011 7:23 pm Definitely based off a 1917. In addition to things already mentioned, Liberty's head does not go to the rim like a 1916 should. Color is wrong for the grade, I'd say a fake altogether. Report this Post to the Staff
