An SLQ was at the top of my bucket list, and it finally happened yesterday! It's a 1923 and it's actually in decent shape but I'm going to keep working on getting that tarnish off (it's not a key date). I guess a flying eagle cent or maybe a capped bust anything is now at the top of my wish list. Happy to get the SLQ before the end of this season and already looking forward to next!

Congrats on checking one off the list. The SLQ still eludes my coil. Nice watch, buckles, and ball.

no real rush to clean the SLQ any more. Personally, I'd keep it as-is and wouldn't potentially ruin it by polishing it.

A real nice standing quarter and an early one of the series to boot.Those quarters before 1925 are hard to find with a date.since the date was on a high point on early issues and wore off easily.
