Saw this coin on our analog of ebay. Looks veeeeery suspicious! Especially for the russian marketplace. This coin in this condition can't exist here.
Asked better photos and weight. Here are the photos what we have now.

It appears to be a high grade example. But the coarseness of the fields on the reverse is strange. Possibly suspect. But it has a cool die crack on the reverse between the A and M of AMERICA. What is the faint lettering running at a diagonal on each side? Is it on the coin or on the holder?

Looks real to me from these pics. The luster and color and rough fields look right. Hard to tell but it looks high AU-low MS, maybe $150-$200? Might have been lightly dipped.

I don't like it. The beading is too small and separated, especially around the head, the facial features don't look right, And the first 1 in the date appears to have a distinct left upper serif. I find the 7 questionable as well.

If conder101 does not like it, I would pass. The rough reverse surface would also give me concern that it could be a cast copy.

I would defer to this assessment. I only have two SLQs (in my 7070); both are quite worn and inexpensive.
