    SLQ Tuesday

    Went out today after work and hit one 1890s house. When I started ,I felt confident that this house would produce some oldies.
    Well, it took an hour and a half, but I finally got a decent signal and dug a no date SLQ. My first of the year.
    It's really worn, but I don't care. It made my day.

    I also dug one wheat, a 1945. and a 1937 Buff

    Dude! That's a Type I SLQ too, so it's either 1916 or 1917. There is a way to tell if it's a 1916 or 1917. If JD's Coins was here he could probably tell you. (A 1916 is worth some big bucks, even in low grade.)

    You are on fire, Don!

    I read that one way to tell a 16 from a 17 is by the fold in the gown next to the left leg. Honestly, they both look the same to me.
    Here's a closer lookName: 6-02-15-2 002.jpg Views: 166 Size: 63.3 KBName: 6-02-15-2 003.jpg Views: 168 Size: 46.9 KB

    After some research and photo comparisons, It looks like a nicely worn 1917

    Are you sure that's a 1917? I'm no expert but I would have said it looks more like a 1916. Just a guess though....

    Congratulations either way!

    Yeah, I know. I got careless. It wasn't very deep, and honestly I thought it was more clad.

    Here's a good article on how to tell the difference:

    http://www.slqcoins.us/educational.html

    Obviously it's more difficult to make a determination on an example that is very worn and dateless, but I think I agree that it's a 1917 based mostly on the very pronounced rivets in the shield.

    That's the same thing I saw. The rivets on the 16 should be more worn. Oh well. Almost LOL

    SLQs are one of my favorite coins. They certainly are hard to come by though.
