WOHOOOOOO STANDING TALL

[bootybay]

For the last several days, I have this one thought constantly pop into my head, go to this beach...go to this beach... well, me and my arm all wrapped up in two braces went.. I figured, heck, I will go a short time so I dont hurt myself any worse.. all this took place in 10 minutes.. I got there... stood looking and turned to the rite side of the beach, high tide it was, but I was in such withdrawl it wasn't funny, so the tide didnt matter. I had even said to my hubby.. I got to go to this beach..I got a feeling... well, I dug my first hole, I find a severally worn down Indian head nickel..so worn you can barely see it... I was thrilled... My second hole, I get that high pitched sweet sound of silver... I start to dig..and what do I see, but the backside of a beautiful standing liberty... I LITERALLY stood up..and did a jig on the beach.. I was sooooooo excited it wasn't funny.. me, by myself, dancing round the beach, yelling YAY me... then I calmed down real fast as the van, with the west Va. tags was watching me.. I thought, oh great and here I am jumping like a fool...so inside I was a busting all over... it was great..MY FIRST STANDING LIBERTY... so my time was up as I was hurting..jumped in my car. locked the doors like I found this huge cache..and grabbed the cell to tell my hubby... his reply was.. YOUR s &$*(&$ me.. said NOPE I GOTS IT... so finally I am doing better...thinking, where did they all hang out years n years ago... I am so very proud of myself and what a rush... She may not be purdy to look at and ya cant see her date, but to me she is the most beautiful thing I ever saw..and she's MINE...
thanks for listening...

Great find. I'm curious as to the worth of such a coin?

[Mississippi Yankee]

Great find. I'm curious as to the worth of such a coin?

It is "Worth" bullion value only. Most dealers are paying 9-10 X Face value for scrap 90% silver coins.

Naturally, to the finder of this coin, it is "Worth" MUCH MORE.

Congrats on that SLQ!

[ivan salis]

due to its highly wore state say 8 to 9 times face --so 2 to 2.25 cash money for scrap silver price -- but the standing liberty quarter is your first "big" silver find is priceless -- when you get "those" hunch's follow them -- you be surprized how often they pay off -- its kind of like a "hidden" dowsing gene some folks seem to have. ----their "drawn" at times to certain places or things -- hey how to salmon know its time to head back to that certain river to spawn? who knows but they do.

there are times and places that seem "call" to me so to speak -- the pull can be very strong indeed -- if I don't find something in a spot like that its because I did not look correctly -- time and again I have had spots like that "payoff" -- I can't fully explain it to those who have never felt it before and don't need to tell those who have since they know. --- Ivan

this lil beauty is worth so much more to me, as shes truly my first one of this kind..... still on cloud nine here... and tickled pink. Funny I had the thought in my head that I would of found a spanish coin.... humm next trip maybe.. but I sure will follow my gut instincts from now on.

[ModernMiner]

Way to go Booty!!! You go Girl. Date or not, she's a great find. Congrats to you.
I still haven't found an SLQ.
Great job,

You are right...pay attention to those whisperings in your ear. That's what led me to a diamond ring... Nothing superstitious, mind you, just the product of your unconcious mind...which is usually correct.
