Wow, absolutely amazing finds. Type 2 1917 SLQ's are much harder to find then the type 1's, as they are less in demand than the popular Type 1 varieties. Are you considering starting an SLQ set?

Yeah, I actually already have and slq "junk set". I sold the previously found 1921 already, and have this one in it's place. I really have slq fever right now and have been seriously contemplating pursuing a low grade (AG/G) 1916. |

Are these lots off of ebay or something along those lines? I've bought a couple with decent success as well. Congrats! |

Wow, so you just need the 23-S and 1916 and you'll have all the keys. To be honest, I think the key dates in the SLQ series are misunderstood, as the 19-D and 1919-S are far more valuable than the 27-S in lower grade. Although in higher grade the 27-S becomes impossibly expensive.

Yeah, I'd like to get the 16 and 23-s sooner than later. I'm trying to understand why the 27-s is so cheap in lower grades since the mintage is actually the lowest in the entire series outside of the 16. I don't think the 27-s was "hoarded", or the value in AU and up wouldn't be as high. Why is the 21 and 23-s so valuable? To me, logically, the 21 and 23-s should be fairly common, but since so many have their dates worn off, maybe only a limited number can be identified? Anyways, I'm not at all an expert on the series, but I think they have the best eye appeal out of any non-gold US series...and I think they are the best for junk lot searches since there are soo many "better dates".

I think the 27-S is so inexpensive partly due to the fact that most people like the look of higher-grade Standing Liberty quarters, and because the 27-S is usually very weakly struck, it is much more desired as well struck, which leads to a higher grade. Yeah, it really is confusing, as the 30-S has a lower mintage than the 21, yet the 30-S is one of the most common dates in the series. I agree with your statement that it is most likely due to the small number of the pre-24 dates that can be identified. |

That makes a lot of sense, thanks wheatguy. Anyone care to offer a grade opinion on these coins?

1. VG-10, depending on how strong the date is in hand.
2. G-6/VG-8. Looks just like my PCGS G-6.
3. EF-40.
4. EF-45.

nice pull on that '21.........that 24 looks really nice too. I haven't had much luck with these exc I have been able to find 2 29-s die clash coins in decent condition. There really isn't a premium on them, but they are neat.
