Hard to guage as a lot of the grade depends on the luster. The reverse makes me think 65+, while the obverse makes me think 62/63, but I'd need better pictures of the luster.

Great SLQ, one of the most beautiful coins ever minted in my opinion. MS 63 ?

The coin only has to go 400 miles from Indy to Milwaukee so hopefully it will be here by this weekend and I will try to take some pictures.

Could you list the models?


Left is a Wenger Swiss Army I picked up on ebay for $5 (it was new but was a store display and the crystal was cracked), next is a Davosa with a ETA / Unitas 6497 handwind which is distributed by D.Freemont in the US (I have a few D Freemont watches which used to be affordable until everyone else caught on), next is a late 1990's Omega Dynamic, and the last one is a watch my watchmaker put togther for me using an ETA 2824 I stole from a Tissot and using off the shelf parts from the Otto Frei catalog.

I have a watch that the dial is made from an SLQ I'll have to dig out of the safe and take some pictures one of these days.

It does look like the reverse was cleaned at some time. But it has great details say ms-62

SLQ's are not my forte (although I love em) but this coin
looks well struck and crisp. I'd guess at least MS64 depending on luster,
which doesn't show well in the pic. Had to cost a lot.

It's a beauty, no doubt! The pictures show an MS coin with full head but I'm going to wait for your follow-on pictures once you get it in hand to give a final judgement!

cd god - GREAT piece!

Can you tell me the proper html (or forum code?) for how to post clickable larger images? Just a copy paste of the exact syntax you used in this post would work. Thanks

You have to host the pictures on the web somewhere. I usually use photobucket but they resized them down so I hosted them at work. Just use the normal (IMG)www.your photos url.jpg(/IMG) but replace the () with [] (had to use () in this port so that the text would show up)

The forum will downsize your picture but automatically make it a clickable link.

I didn't notice it until you mentioned it. In hand yes you can see a very light nick on the reverse rim edge only.

I'm guessing between an AG and an MS70.

Am I close?

MS 63 FH. The reverse isn't quite as nice as the front. Otherwise I would say 64.

cd god, dude, what issue number is the FF comic? I recognize it but cant remember the number.
