Another SLQ

Looks to have all the criteria of a FH designation and looks to be around AU55.
I love that pink champagne toning! AU55FH

Knee, just above the foot and shield is why I'm thinking it's AU and not MS.

I'll go out on a limb at MS60/61

Beautiful solid AU! I wonder if an acetone dip might take care of that spot? I had similar spots on my 1917 slq type coin, and acetone took them right off.

More specificly I would say AU-58. I really don't see much obvious wear except maybe a tad on the knee and foot. It really is a nice coin, too bad about that spot.

Thanks for all the opinions, I have it graded as AU-58, but the minimal wear takes away the FH designation, in my opinion. I wonder what a TPG would say though....

The spot most likely could be removed with a dip in acetone, but I don't want to mess up the toning, which is very attractive in hand.

I agree with johnny, however, *if* the acetone does remove anything from the coin, there may be less (or no) toning at those spots. Pick your poison.

Thanks Tcmac, I guarantee you'll like collecting these.

I may have to use acetone on this one, but maybe I'll hold back for a while, all the horror stories I've read about acetone are starting to scare me a bit.

I finally just learned a very important lesson, thanks to Dave. (Vermontensium.) I finally learned how to spot rub. I knew what it was, I knew it could mean the difference between an AU and MS coin, but now I've officially learned to spot it. Thanks!
