1913 Canadian Silver

[nyantler]

After hours of unproductive cellar holes in Northern NY... I managed to dig this up at the last cellar hole. 1913 Canadian Silver Quarter in pretty good condition, but badly tarnished. Something about the soil in Northern NY area that does a number on all metals. Hey.. silver is silver

I've yet to dig any Canadian silver out here in Denver, driving me nuts.
Can dig Seated, barber, Merc, even one Capped, but no Canadian.
Kudos!

Well here in Minnesota I tend to find a lot of canadian. (In pocket change at least)
So much so it's almost alarming. I work at a gas station other then going to college, and half the coins I buy out are canadians. :/

Knowing nothing about canadian coins I didn't think it was silver when I found it... I didn't know it was silver until I researched the coin... thats how tarnished it is and I'm having trouble cleaning it up ... soap and water just aren't cutting it.

cool. looks like it might have light fire damage. possibly low level heat like from burning household trash
