Anyone who reads my posts knows I'm a collector and big fan of Standing Liberty quarters. Took a trip yesterday to my old home town and, during a dry spell between all the rain, hit a park on the other side of the bridge. I was grabbing quite a few wheats and a pretty cool silver marine pin, but no silver coins. As the weather started turning for the worse, I headed back to the car - the magic words!

Get a signal about 10 inches down and a solid silver tone- would've filmed it live, but it was a mess out there, so I was kind of in a hurry to dig and run. Turned out I was lucky enough to nab SLQ #18, no date, really worn, but I'm thrilled with it nonetheless. I've been fortunate that of the 18, this is only the 4th without a date- typically you'd think that ratio would be the opposite. Ended up with 8 wheats, oldest 1912. There'll be return trips for sure when it isn't soaking.

Enjoy the pics and HH all!

Yes, this is a nice find worn or not. Don't know about you, but as a kid, I had these in my pocket all the time. Walker halves too.

Been into coins since I was a kid in the 60's & 70's- used to get those kinds of coins from the guy who ran the local chicken/egg store, he'd give them to my grandfather for face value- 50 years later I still love them- especially SLQs!
 

SLQs are also in my top 10 of our beauties. I have one slabbed in MS 65 full face. I can stare at her for hours. ( I sound like a perv)
 

Congrats on the silver. Standing Lib's are always nice, even if they don't have a date.
 

Awesome! Congrats!
 

Those are beauties. Congratulations.:icon_thumright:
 

nice S.L.Q ONE OF MY FAVORIT, the flying eagle on the coin when I see it puts me in the mood to hunt cause it looks like hes looking to
 

Nice one, congrats! That is a well used coin.
 

Very nice, I remember as a kid having to sell candy for little league baseball and people would pay with SLQs.
 

Date or no date it's always an awesome coin to find! Congrats Jeff. So far I've only found three but I've been lucky: they all have dates!!!
 

Very nice find and that EGA is sweet too:occasion14:
 

Sempre Fi !!!
 

Thats a favorite of mine also I have one its a 1916 or 17 not sure which but those are some cool coins Congrats Tommy
