Nice MS64 FH, Wanted to say 65 but weak date and eagle feathers in spots probably prevent that.

I love these when they are clean like that and aren't obnoxiously overtoned! Nice coin I would have have to agree with the MS-64 full head as well. Very nice :).

Easy 65 FH. Excellent strike, although strike influences value and eye appeal but not technical grade. The post numeric assignment of FH accounts for strike influence.
Lovely luster flow. Really like this selection. Congratulations on a great pick.

Agree with ms64fh. I see a lot of small hits in the obverse and reverse fields. Coin has a great look. According to PCGS: 1917-P T1 SLQs are more often full head than not. FH is common. 1917-D T1 SLQs are very common but not prevalent, and 1917-S T1 SLQs are scarce. With 1917 T1s, P-mint coins will give you the greatest choice in terms of looking for the most premium coin possible with greatest eye appeal, but if you run into a 1917-S T1 with full head at a reasonable price, snatch it. Love this coin, and how you really have the opportunity to look through many options and choose the one you like most.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thanks for all these opinions! Shocked when I saw the grade. I was going to do it anyway, but surely putting the hammer to this slab  |

Sigh, PCGS never ceases to confuse me.  |

The full head designation on this one is obvious. How they came up with 62, not so much.
One a side question: Why did you black out the date on the holder? I never understood this practice and every time I ask, the OP never responds. I guess I just don't understand what it accomplishes.

Yeah the numerical grade is a shocker. I didnt mean to, but I was going to post the grade in the original post. That is why I blacked out the slab. Some do it for privacy reasons
