1927 SLQ

[SkyMan]

Here's an SLQ I've owned for a long time in my Type Set. It originally was in an NGC fatty and I crossed it over to PCGS. In both cases it graded MS65FH. The images are by Bob Campbell and I think he did an excellent job.

That's a little pale, isn't it? I expected to open this and see the typical Sy type coin....

 

Looks nice anyways

Actually I got this so long ago I still hadn't started to deliberately buy toners. I got this somewhere in the late 1980's.

I must admit, I was looking for color too.

That is a great looking coin though.

Where's the "S" mintmark?

 

Lovely coin. The SLQ design never gets old, IMO.

nice slq. im glad ya kept it all these years

[Buffalo Head]

That is one BEAUTIFUL piece!! Bob did a superb job of imaging, again as always. I'm surprised it's a 65 and not a 66 per the images. I find it very attractive. Nice coin sky!!

These nice examples are hard to find. Nice coin there SkyMan.

I was wrong about the date mine is a 1929 NGC 65FH

 

Shanes pics and I bought the coin from Mark Feld

Gorgeous toner! SLQs are tough to find attractively toned (or at least it seems that way to me).

Really nice Type III SLQ!

Congrats to Kenny. I think you just won Copper Toning's contest!!!

 

Copper Toning, that's a beautiful SLQ. I personally don't collect that series, but I really like yours. Looks to have nice luster with some very attractive color. The details on miss liberty are awesome.

Congratulations Kenny,

 

You did indeed win the contest I will pm you later this afternoon for some information

 

I agree the SLQ is tough to find nicely toned

 

I looked around quite a bit before posting a one ad on the BSD where I was presented a handful of nicely toned SLQ's

 

Eventually I decided on this one presented by Mark feld great price great coin easy to deal with I was very happy

 

Edited to add and you were doubtful it would be a doozy

Great photos....how did you/Bob get such great shots ? Any quick lighting/focusing techniques you can give a photo insufficiently_thoughtful_person so I can take decent shots of purchases ?

 

I have a 2005 5 megapixel Pentax with that macro-focus thing but I would prefer to use my brand new 13 megapixel Galaxy S4 smartphone (no idea of any settings).

This picture was taken by Shane not sure how he does it

 

I can only tell you my pictures suck

 

Sorry,
