weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 11:00 am I know that they recessed the date on the SLQ beginning in 1925 to try to get it to last longer, but plenty of them still wore completely away despite this change. Is there any way of positively knowing whether the worn down Type 2 SLQ (3 stars under the eagle) in my hand is post or pre-1925? Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 11:20 am I don't think figuring this out is an exact science, but logically, if your coin has VG-F details with no date; it is almost certainly pre-25 since VG/F post 25s will pretty much always display a full date. If it's a dateless slq worn down to FR2 or AG3; it is much tougher to tell whether or not it's pre-1925. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't think that's true, as I've seen plenty of AG post 1925 SLQ's with strong readable dates. I agree with Johnny, although chances are yours is pre-25. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm of the opinion, the date design changed the viability of the date of this coin so much, if your coin does not have a readable date, it is virtually 100% pre-1925. (I may hear an argument about that. But I don't care). Report this Post to the Staff

Here's the lowest graded quarter I could find on Heritage. The date is really protected from wear...by the time the date would be illegible, the coin itself would be difficult to identify.
