Got home from work a bit early and went for another quick dig. I walked the wagon trails again and a perfect 93 caught my ear. Dug the plug, and the first thing I saw was that eagle looking back at me and I knew exactly what I had. I nearly had a heart attack!

This is my oldest quarter, and only my second seated coin in seven years. My other is a slick dime, and I have been hoping for a nicer example.

Finding Seated on the Canadian prairie is a real challenge so I am thrilled with this coin!

Congrats on the great looking Seated! You're so right about it being a challenge digging one on the prairie.

Thanks Scuba, I would have been happy with a dime. Being a quarter was a shocker for sure

Curious, what's the 1916 dated tag in the last pic?

Thanks david! I'm not sure what the tag is, I found another just like it a few years ago. The railway is close by, and so was the old hotel. I'm going to look into it.
