This morning I found a little silver eagle charm. After taking a closer look at the back, I realized that somebody cut the eagle out of a Standing Liberty Quarter and made a charm out of it. Nice little charm, but I think I'd rather have the whole quarter!

I haven't found a SLQ yet - does this count? :)

Hey S.O.C, I really like your cool S.L.Q. eagle pendant. That one is worth wearing! Can you share what the VDI was on this find on the ATPro. I am always filing that VDI data away for future digs! Sub 8-)

I think that's an awesome find, whoever made that had some real skill and probably spent a good amount of time to be able to cut it out so perfectly. Congrats! I'm sure you'll find a whole one someday, I'm still lookin for mine!

Agree with the other comments. Common date & no date Standing Liberty quarters are fun to find but realistically not worth much more than scrap value. I would much rather find something unique like your hand made charm.

I'd rather have the whole SLQ myself, but that is a really cool find, IMHO. Congrats!

That is a very awesome and I would think RARE find.
What are the odds on that one??

Congrats on a really cool and unique silver find.
