Looks real to me from these pics. The luster and color and rough fields look right. Hard to tell but it looks high AU-low MS, maybe $150-$200? Might have been lightly dipped.

A real beauty!

I don't like it. The beading is too small and separated, especially around the head, the facial features don't look right, And the first 1 in the date appears to have a distinct left upper serif. I find the 7 questionable as well.

If conder101 does not like it, I would pass. The rough reverse surface would also give me concern that it could be a cast copy.

I would defer to this assessment. I only have two SLQs (in my 7070); both are quite worn and inexpensive.

The photo definitely makes those areas hard to assess. But if this is a fake it would really worry me because of how authentic the fields look.

Seller still don't give a better photos. Coin is questionable, and also - this seller has good photos on all items except this.
