Coin arrived and I took my image of it which is far inferior to the sellers. Please post your SLQ's.

To me, this design is rather unique and an incredible part of the US coin renaissance of the early 20th Century. It's too bad it suffered from the same strike problems that plagued many other issues of the day (Peace, Walker, Buffalo). When fully detailed, as in the 1917 below, it's an incredibly beautiful coin. The 1930-S is nice too, with an aged, layered patina. These are the only ones I have, from my 20th Century type set:

The master dies for 1917 Type 1 and 1917 Type 2 were made differently. That accounts for the mushy-look to the Type 2.

Since the last two SLQ's are the 24-D and the 24-S and since I own one more SLQ that I didn't post, I'll post this 1924 MS-63 from my 20th Century Type Set. This completes the year set for 1924 unless I missed another 24 from this thread. :grin:

Since these don't come in prooflike condition, I'm not quite sure yet how I'm going to address that situation. I'm thinking instead of a PL coin for my type set, I might go with a 65 or 66 FH with awesome luster and fantastic toning (most likely with a star). But, I haven't gotten it yet.
