One thing I have noticed is that the competition getting more intense may have something to do with your posts on the subject... So true! I kind of dug my own grave a bit with that...  The funny thing is, the first couple of times I found one, I thought I just got lucky and would never see another one. Then when I spot one, I get a little ticked at myself knowing that I may have created more competition...but I can't complain at the end of the day. It's too late to undo it now, and I'd gladly step aside since it is always risky buying that way. I still believe they are very rare, as there are still very few of these certified in plastic. I've only seen 3 PR/FR certified examples on Heritage in their 20 years of archives. Edited by johnny54321

I just got one of these from Johnny, but its more worn. Still cool to have a 1916 SLQ for the first time in my life. I'm glad it arrived safe and sound!  Yeah, it's extremely worn, though, it has a lot of character and nice surfaces for a PO-1. It makes one wonder how many purchases were made with her. It's amazing that no one realized it was a rare date and pulled it out of circulation unlike the 1909s vdb, as every one was searching for the 1909s vdb almost as soon as it was released. |

Ahh, I see. I will just bid on all of the lots then to throw you off jk. I usually just watch the lot and then set up software to bid for me at the very end, and the last 2 times others had me almost up to my max bid. |

Off to ANACS now. I also de-slabbed my "AG3" example for resubmittal, and hopefully get a G-4+ this time. I really just need to catch these ANACS graders in a good mood. If only there was some way I could lace the mylar flips holding the coins with happy gas. :-)

Okay, sorry if this is old hat to everyone else, but how do you determine that a dateless SLQ is actually a 1916?

ANACS stated 1916 straight FR02 on the 1916 in the original post.
