That's a beauty! I like the 1919 SLQ; it's priced like a common date but somehow has extra appeal for me. One day I plan to pick one up!
I always look at the beading around the obverse rim. Your coin has complete beads which I think are a strong indicator of AU-50 or better grade. The date is quite strong. Central detail is weak on the obverse and the head is not full, but this is from strike, not wear. I think some wear is visible on the reverse over the eagle's wings and breast. The toning is quite beautiful and surely original.
I'd say this is an AU-53 or AU-55 coin. Very, very nice!

To much wear for AU grade. I would have to go with EF-40, high end.

Bryan,
Its the old small sized slabs Anacs used to use. I will post a pic of the slabbed grade either tomorrow or sometime this weekend.

I will take a Stab and say VF-25. Toning is sure purty.

Wow, wide range of opinions on this. I'm gonna say EF45, but an AU grade wouldn't knock me out of my chair.

I think it is an EF-45 technically, but it has the eye appeal of an AU coin, and I wouldn't be surprised if it brought full AU money. That is a coin I would be very proud to own, espcially the beautiful crusty toning! Nice purchase!

Ok I thought I had taken a picture of the slab with the grade but I didnt and I have put up the coin so no pic of the slab grade. However it is graded XF45. Cownas you were the first one to get the grade right so  Jaobler it has definitely has the luster present to qualify for AU50-AU53 but I guess the wear on the shield, leg, eagle ect was to much for them to give the AU designation. Thanks all for responding. |

i love the tone, I've only seen one other SLQ with that kind of toning and I was tempted to buy it but the seller was selling cleaned coins and I didnt want to get ripped off so I passed it up but I dont think I could have ever passed one up like your
