Full Head Standing Liberty quarter question

[Ronald Ozimek]

I purchased and read the Standing Liberty quarter book by J.H Cline & have been looking through coins I have. Most are heavily circulated, but I have a 1919 P possibly worthy of discussion. Does anyone from our group have enough experience with this coin type to know if this example might qualify as a "Full Head" example? I'm looking at pictures in the book and on-line but hope someone with more experience can offer an opinion. Thanks!

So for this question, it can easily be answered by a Google search.

Now the rest is very subjective. It's how the graders interprets the guidance and how the graders mindset, attention to detail and all the other mind boggling distractions occur when looking at a coin for merely seconds per side.

But it looks like the answer would be No for this particular example.

Thanks for the link to the grading criteria and for furthering my education. I wish they had enlarged pictures of the FH coin shown. From the words in the article I can talk myself into only 2 of the 3 requirements for my coin.

I found a better picture of a full head coin and have highlighted the 3 main areas the grading sheet referenced. (the 3 leaves, the depression at the ear, the line where the hair meets the forehead). Hope this helps others if they are looking to compare their coin to the standard. Thanks for sending me down the correct path.
