wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 08/10/2010 5:56 pm I agree with Johnny;'s explanation. My first impression was that only the 4 was visible, which is why I graded it VG-8. Looking at it again, a VG-10 seems fair. It's only my opinion though, I understand why others would feel differently. Still a nice coin and definitely a nice find for 13x face. Report this Post to the Staff
Dcreek1968 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 08/10/2010 7:19 pm Late getting into the discussion, but my first thought on seeing the coin was a nice Fine, but IMO it will not get a 3rd party grade assigned to it because of the date. I don't have alot of familiarity with weak date strikes on SLQ's, but this didn't look like a weak strike to me. It appears that something (i.e. a chemical) has been used on it and that would prevent a TPG from assigning anything other than a details grade. Weren't SLQ's notorious for having the date wear off first and this would appear like someone applied acid to try to bring up the other three digits. Just wondering if anyone else had this same kind of reaction upon first seeing the coin. Very nice coin, but with issues. Report this Post to the Staff
steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 08/11/2010 12:15 pm Dcreek...yes, before 1925 the SLQ's were known for the date wearing out quickly. It was the high point on the coin. Johnny wasn't saying the coin had a weak strike. He was making a comparison to how weakly struck coins are graded. I don't see how the date area on this coin would be cause for a TPG to refuse grading. But of course this coin is not worth submitting. There are plenty of examples of TGP graded coins in higher grades than this one with the date almost completely gone.

No acid can bring out the date on an SLQ. Report this Post to the Staff
DylansDad Valued Member United States 476 Posts	Posted 08/11/2010 9:22 pm I am pretty certain from having it in hand that the date is NOT treated, I think it's more an issue of a shaky hand on the camera through a 10x loupe. Report this Post to the Staff
Dcreek1968 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 08/11/2010 11:15 pm Steve is right when he says there is no value in submitting it for TPG unless you just like to have the slabs. I'll stick with the opinion that it may not go into a problem free slab, but what they hey, I've certainly been wrong before. I submit to the theory that everyone has the right to be stupid with the problem being that some folks just abuse the privilege. Hope that's not me. Report this Post to the Staff
