1917 Type I Standing Liberty quarter

[Mainedigger]

Found this in the middle of a field down about 4 inches....sorry for the fuzziness...can;t master getting a clear pic thru the magnifying glass...need a better camera....the coin is in great shape....VF to EF and very sharp detail.

You can always see where the coins were wiped with a finger in one direction with the dirt still on them,effectively acting like sandpaper. My friend found a mercury dime when we were out the other day: he did the same thing. When he posted it later you could see those familiar parallel scratches. That was a nice coin in a decent grade!

Really nice find and congrats! Hopefully the next time you hit that field, you will find her sister born in 1916! That would be awesome!

Awesome find. That's probably a $40 coin. Love the type 1.
