JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 08:15 am Needs a little more shield detail and wing detail for XF. It appears to have a nice amount of luster though for a VF coin. Nice SLQ Report this Post to the Staff
wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 10:09 am Vf-25 I do agree that there appears to be lots of luster for the grade. Keeper for sure Report this Post to the Staff
steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 11:14 am I'll rock the boat...EF coin with weak strike on shield. Report this Post to the Staff
nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 1:23 pm Thanks for the input. I bought it at a coin show and the dealer had it listed as EF. I tend to ignore what a dealer grades a coin, especially if I don't know the dealer. I agree that the details may not quite measure up to EF40, but I really liked the look and luster of the coin. I think the eye appeal might bump it up to EF. I'm curious - Are pre 1925 SLQ's graded any differently than the post 1925 ones? Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 2:48 pm Don't know if it's XF. If it is weak strike on the shield XF, If it is wear VF. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 2:53 pm The shield wasn't what made me drop the grade to VF, it was the incomplete ribbing around the perimeter. Report this Post to the Staff
wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 5:59 pm EF-40, with a weak strike. The date is a large factor in determining grades for pre-25 SLQ's, so since post 25's have strong dates, there is a difference in the grading. Report this Post to the Staff
steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 6:12 pm Here's my reasoning behind "weak strike": The wear (or the lack thereof) her chain mail and on her right leg is consistent with an EF coin. Same thing with the luster. Report this Post to the Staff
