Nod - Yeah, probably. So...whatever they're called...does anybody else see what I'm talking about?


Certainly between the type 1 and type 2 slqs. I don't notice much of a difference in dentical strength between other pre-25 and post 25 slqs, but I don't focus as much.

Let me try saying this another way: On WELL WORN SLQs, these denticles or reeds or whatever you want to call them, appear to survive a little better on the pre-1925 coins. It's like, what they lacked in date retention they tried to make up for with reed/denticle retention.

Incidentally...in J. H. Cline's book he mentions that "Miss Liberty's head breaks through the reeds..." when describing how a 1916 is different from other Type 1s, so he thinks they're reeds, and that's good enough for me!

Moe: NICE coins...especially that Type 1 1917!

Good observation, weerdsteev! Yeah, looks like you're the real winner here, Afcop13.

Does look like and altered 1928S.
