Bocephus - check the other threads regarding 1916's, especially the one that Nod started and the 4-5 page one regarding Johnny's.

I thought I would discuss briefly my dream 1916 quarter. This was conservately graded at G-4 by PCGS. It sold on Heritage, and then resold several months ago on ebay...both around the $2700. I remember seeing it and was considering selling some gold to raise enough to purchase it....but I let it slip away I still regret not going for it. This to me is the pinnacle of GOOD for this coin as far as affordability is concerned. Talk about eye appeal for the grade! It is a work of art! Yes this one, I would sacrafice for if it ever came up again for auction.

Ooooh. I can see why you'd have been tempted to go for it.

Well, who knows, times are tough, maybe it'll pop up again. I love the crusting and toning on that coin, and think its a very conservative grade as well.
Rest in Peace

Anybody wanna kick my butt now. In 1972 my customer in my paper route gave me a bunch of silver quarters for their payment after 2 months of not paying.She,gone to Florida,in her 50's, gave me 12 dollars in quarters.I received a 1916,1917.1918.1920.I have no idea as to MM as that wasn't my gig along with a bunch of Kennedy's.I just know that they all sounded the same in my pocket.Jingle,jingle..I used those quarters in the local Newberry Department Store's baseball machine and received 2 plays per quarter.Those were the Good OLE Days.

You know I'm going to outbid you on that 1919 D simply out of spite now. Right?

LOL - just kidding. I've been watching the two that are going soon though.....both prices are already jacked up.

By the way - congrats on filling each hole so dang quick! There are some great finds in there, with the two most obvious being the 23S and 16.

Wow, so when do you think that 19-D's going to come along?

I especially like the 17-S Type 2, I'm having a difficult time finding one.
Rest in Peace

Thanks Carl. I agree that they look really good in blue, though I would only purchase the ones that show both sides of the coin through sliders. The old whitman albums that only show 1 side just don't cut it for display or protection purposes imo, although they do have that cool looking "rare" fill-in for the 1916. :-)
I feel it is important to note that Whitman makes both albums (where one can see both sides) and folders (can only see one side).

The Whitman albums are very similar to the Dansco, but slightly smaller and includes notches on the page edge to easily remove the plastic slides.


That said, I am very impressed with your SLQ collection!
Rest in Peace

I should have also said this was directed at the casual reader, and not necessarily at you. I know some of the newer collectors have been confused by 'albums v. folders' in the past.

Some very nice looking original coins in there. I haven't seen a coin on any auction site or either of my dealers in about 2 weeks that fits what I need and can afford......so my acquisitions have slowed way down.
