I'm not sure how to quote, so this is in response to the previous reply. I saw that thread as well as few others, and those discussions are what really led me to believe that it was in fact a 1916 when I was going after it. I think it is, I'm just curious what the consensus here seems to be. I used a lot of the same identifying characteristics to come to my own conclusion, but it's always nice to have a second opinion!

Pretty sure it's a forgery. The rims are too wide, Liberty's head is funky and the date is obviously altered. Looks like a bad cast counterfeit.

What makes it seem like a cast counterfeit? It was being sold as a 1917, so unless someone was just hoping that buyers would suspect it as a 16, it certainly wasn't being advertised as such.

The whole coin seems odd . How can all those denticles on obverse be that clear with all that wear ? And look at that reverse , clear as a bell . If it's legit I don't think it would be a 1917 ,but a crazy worn 1916 .  |

The wear pattern is completely unnatural. It's wrong.  to the CCF! |

It has a recessed date, everything before 1925 was raised. I vote fake.

UPDATE: I sent this and about a dozen other coins off to get graded. Just got the notification that the grading is finished and it is currently in shipping. This coin came back as a 1916 with a G4 grade. It wasn't designated as "details" or "cleaned", "altered", "tooled", or anything else. I'm pretty happy as I went on a mission specifically to cherry pick this coin, and found one relatively quick. I may never find another, but even in low grade, I'm thrilled with the outcome!

G-04 ? Are you kidding ? I'm sure the only reason they gave it a G-04 is because of the full edges and rims of this coin . IMHO .  Congrats on your cherry pick . Edited by T-BOP

Who graded it if you don't mind my asking?

I must admit I don't know the nuances of the differences in grading criteria between type 1, 2, and 3 SLQs. I would imagine that a 1929 with this wear might not get a G4?

I am staggered by this grade. It doesn't even look like a "6". Good for you, but not something that would interest me.

This coin was graded by ANACS. Still don't know how to quote in a reply! Is there a button to click on the appropriate post or do I have to use forum code?
