This morning I found a little silver eagle charm. After taking a closer look at the back, I realized that somebody cut the eagle out of a Standing Liberty Quarter and made a charm out of it. Nice little charm, but I think I'd rather have the whole quarter!

I haven't found a SLQ yet - does this count? :)

That's a very cool find. Better than a worn SLQ in my opinion

Heck yes! I'd take that over a S.L.Q. any day! Who else has one of those that you found? That sir, is a nice find. I would wear that as a necklace if I found it.

LOL! That is nice.
I would count it.
I have never found one either.
I speculate because they were minted only for about 16 years. Then The Great Depression followed. Who knows?

I'd take it also over a regular SLQ, it's different and that is great.

Creative! You should wear it! Maybe someone in the "Roaring 20's" lost it while drunk:laughing7:

A cut Spanish silver counts, so why not a cut SLQ? It would definitely count as a SLQ in my book.
