I wouldn't nic-a-date that 23-s. How in the world could they not determine? The 3 is clear, and the only option is 23-s.

Personally I dont see the 23 either. I see what could be a 3, but it looks more like a random blob to me.

Nic-A-Date will do nothing but leave an ugly black spot on the coin. Won't work on silver.

To me the 3 is clear. I can't the 2, but there is no other SLQ date that ends in 3 (1916-1930). The 3 is a darker color, and the number is the right font/script. Look under the left foot........or to the right where the last digit in the date would be.

Do not nic-a-date it, that will only make it worse. There is a very good reason why it is called Nic-A-Date- it only works on 75/25 CuNi alloy for US coins. As for the SLQ, are you certain that it is an actual 3 and not a patination artifact? If you ever go to a larger regional coin show, look for a table manned by J.H. Cline, he is the the authoritative source for all things SLQ and should be able to tell you whether it truly is a 23-S or not. |

Biokemist, I am of the belief that it is a patination artifact. My wife and others think its a 3. Thanks for the advic on the nic a date. I figured it would at least bring it out a little more. I will have to see if Mr Cline is going to be in the area any time soon. Thanks. :)

I also am appalled that ANACS did not grade that 23-s....which it clearly is. The odds of some foreign matter or scratches making a "3" with that specific shape in that specific location is 10,000 to 1. In addition, the overall level of obverse wear is correct for a 3 of that level of detail. I would resubmit it to them....and include a loupe with your submission.   Edited by johnny54321

So, my dad was fairly lucid today so I asked him where he got the Seated from. Turns out it came from one of my grandmothers. Couldnt get exactly which one though. But at least now I know this is something that has been in the family a good while. Possibly even since it was minted. History like that makes something priceless.
