SLQ, barbers, and a Merc....and it ain't no joke in this heat

Snuck away from work and went to a newer site. The ground was dust, the grass was half dead and mostly dust, the temp was 89 degrees, and humidity was 75%. It was rough out there.

Did about 2.5 hrs and got some great results. Dug a bunch of wheats and a few Indians. In between all them snagged two barbers (one with an almost hole), a Merc, and a 1923 SLQ in pretty good shape. Probably the best one out of the 9 I've found.

I think I overdid I today in the heat. My apologies for the lame and short post. I need AC and a BEER

I am happy with Indians. I normally post them but I just don't have it in me today to clean them.

I can't even imagine finding 9 SLQ's ! They definitely are a bucket list coin for me . Getting one from pre 1924 with a date
is quite an accomplishment !

Thanks George. The condition was even better once I cleaned it. It's actually worth a few bucks. Also the 1905 Barber is the "micro O" variety. Too bad the 1923 ain't an S mintage.

Thx. Nah, I think I had some bad luck with condition with SLQ. One I found was stoved in, flattened, and oval. See? ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1432774791.111141.jpg lol ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1432774857.415879.jpg
