1917 SLQ

[copper toning]

Yes. In the case of this coin being 62 it is probably something like album friction not circulation wear. Of course you have to view the coin in hand as it is not uncommon for the high points to tone due to the contact with surfaces such as album pages ect.

I ended up keeping the coin. I like the gold toning and it is pleasing to my eye.

Anyway, here's a pic of the Eagle's under belly. I was looking at the thigh area and tail feathers as wear.

This is the first and only SLQ I own so I'm definitely interested in more experienced collectors thoughts

Yeah, I like her too. I've been looking at a lot SLQ's since I bought this one and have seen many light strikes in this grade and in 63/4 as well. I still think this one has some wear but the over all eye appeal make her a keeper to me! (thumbs u

I would guess AU55 based on the detail, luster, eye appeal, etc. With this said, what is the vertical line on the reverse above the eagle? Is this a scratch? If so, I would call it AU details.

a coin may appear circulated but luster will determine the grade then it could be poorly struck but still a mintstate because of its appearance including how much chatter.
