It looks like it was previously sold for $4550 in August. He has a return policy so I am thinking the original purchaser sent it back or it is a shill bidder. If not shill bidding then WOW! 2 different auctions fooled that many bidders!

No sane and serious collector of a $thousand dollar plus U.S. coin would buy a raw 1916 SLQ in any condition, on ebay. Such a coin would need to independently verified by a professional before making a decision to bid. |

Amazing that people would put out that kind of money and not know what they are buying.

That really doesn't look right. It's doesn't match any of the diagnostics I would use. I hope the buyer catches the problems before they lose that much money. I wouldn't spend a $46 dollars, let alone $4600 on a coin that looked like that without some sort of certification or 100% money back promise WHEN it proves to be an altered or forged coin. I tried to look at the ebay listing but the link above doesn't lead anywhere. Has the listing been removed? ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Looks like we get back to considering the OP's original question: "real?"

It's not a '16 and I would be surprised if it started out as a '17. I'm 90% sure it's a counterfeit. I would need better photos and measurements or I would need to study the coin "in hand" to say with surety one way or the other.

As everyone else pointed out, I'm 100% certain that is not a 1916 just based on the most basic of diagnostics required for 16's.
