I have been watching 1916 SLQ's on E-BAY for a little while, and the dateless slab-less ones are often humorous in the sellers description. "was shown to several experts and they all agreed it is a 1916" or " took it to several coin dealers and they felt strongly its a 1916". This one has me a little curious. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1916-25C-St...em3f303b932e To me at least, what is left of the diagnostics all clearly show a 1917, pictures are of decent quality. What is odd is as of this post it is 113.00, no returns and a new seller. In the past these seem to be exposed for what they are, and go for not much more than melt. Any thoughts? |

Sit back and watch the foolishness of buyers bidding on a title only.
It's a 1917.

Somebody is going to be mighty disappointed. All you have to do is check the markers on this coin to know it is a 1917.

Lets see what his reason is. Even on phone between customers at work I could see it is a 17.

Ends in less than 5 hrs now, and bid is up to almost $150. Someone is going to be disappointed, and even if they realize in time what they have bought and get a refund, there will still be money lost to the post office for shipping.

Very rare but not sure if it is for sure! IMHO Seller knows - funny how his first sale was a roll of wheat cents and now 1916 SLQ? Yes, someone will be very disappointed. |

Heck, I don't own any SLQs, and I could tell that was a '17 in under 5 seconds.  It will be easy to return as "sold not as described" since the seller stated it was a '16. Edited by DVCollector

The experts here have taught a novice like me the diagnostics ... alas the winning bidder was not a member of the tremendous CCF.

Look at the bidding on this one - it's some of the most blatant shilling I've ever seen. Heck, the winning bidder smells of shilling themself, only not with this seller.

I think the last "legit" unslabbed dateless 1916 SLQ sold 1 1/2 years ago. It was mentioned on the forum and the seller come forward and joined in the discussion. I think the final selling price was around $600. I picked up my 1924 from the same seller listed at the same time for a fair price.  |

 This comparison image has floated around so much...I'm not sure who came up with it. Edited by oih82w8

This is all you need, Bobby - it's slam-dunk, and good down to a P01 coin:   |
