I am trying to get a T1 1917 Quarter for my collection. I would like to get one in the MS(62) to MS(64) range. If I go 64, I am not requiring a full head designation, but I would prefer that her head not resemble a pancake. This coin on ebay looks too expensive for a uncertified specimen. Also, the picture seems a bit blurry. I'd love to hear some of your opinions on this one... Thanks. Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/1917-TYPE-1-STA...t_3487wt_797If I go the route of a 62 or 63 FH, I would prefer to get a strong white luster. What would be a good price if I go this route? Thanks again. |

Looks like a nice coin with more than likely, FH designation. I do notice what looks like some very slight friction on her knee which worries me slightly.

I see the same thing that vermontensium does. For that kind of money, you can get a pretty nice certified one. Personally, I think I'd pass on this one. If it has just the slightest bit of rub, it would never grade any higher than AU58. The seller's pics aren't good enough to really see whether or not there is any wear. There is a big difference between AU58 money and the price this seller is asking.
Full Head 1917 T1 examples are relatively easy to find in the grade range you are looking for. I think I'd keep looking.

If you are interested in quality and are willing to consider venues besides ebay, I would recommend J.H. Cline- he would be the foremost authority on SLQs |

Thanks for the referral, Biokemist6. And thanks cwb8539 and vermontensium: I really don't want to get a lackluster specimen, especially for such an amazingly beautiful coin.

 It shouldn't be too hard to find a nice specimen, the majority of 1917 Type 1's come nicely struck with a lot of eye appeal. |

what the JH cline site has a lot of nice things on there. I see 1917 type 1's show up on teletrade sometimes.

I looked at your coin and feel that it doesn't have enough luster for my taste, plus it appeared to be slightly circulated. I'd pass on it and seek out one in more of a pristine condition.
