mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 6:24 pm Hi, I do not have the skill set to determine this difference. Is there any way someone could illustrate photographically where on the coin(s) exactly the point(s) where one can distinguish these features. The current pictures I am able to see are too blurred to help me. thanks, mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff

Those are the seller images and the coins are in the mail, but here you go: http://www.slqcoins.us/educational.html Also, there is two hair strands on the 1917 type one's as compared to the 1916 with one.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36746 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 7:38 pm The deep lines in both walls is the quickest way to tell. You won't see those lines on the worn 1916. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 7:43 pm In regards to the very informative illustration posted by oih82w8, I never could understand how the robe is "attached" to the ankle? Report this Post to the Staff

After looking at this issue a bit closer a side-by-side photo shot helped me visualize the differences better: I placed two straight black lines on the opposite ends of a 'curved' indentation formation entering into the right foot of the 1916 SLQ. The black arrow is pointing to the center of this more pronounced curvature found in the 1916 SLQ. Also the small piece protruding from the '16's gown appears to be larger than the same piece coming off of the '17's gown. The description, 'attached to the ankle', could have been more appropriately named 'protruding into the Cuboid part of the foot' and exactly understood by anyone cable of performing a Google search. That's the best I can do on this part. Report this Post to the Staff
