I was able to hit the yard of a home built in 1956. Not old by hobby standards, but I was at least hoping for a silver Rosie, or Washington. Imagine my surprise when I pulled this no date Standing Liberty quarter, an Aladdin's Castle token, and the Shell Oil Presidential token with James Polk on it. The Standing Liberty, is a Type II, as it has the stars on the reverse. I added a picture of the home, which is owned by a co-worker. Don't overlook those "newer" old homes, as they can be sleepers and their yards can hold some treasures also. Happy Easter to all.

I remember seeing slick SLQ's still in change up to the point clad hit our pockets.

My uncle was a freak on silver, started sounding the alarm for stashing even after clad - just always checking his change.

Like I do now..... Had to get it from somewhere.

If the SLQ has no stars under the reverse eagle, you still have a coin worth more than face.
Don.........
Thanks Don, it is a Type II as it has the stars on the reverse. I forgot to mention that in my original post, and have edited my post to indicate that. Always appreciate your insight. Ron
