1919 Canadian quarter

[diggyboy]

Hit an old hunting lodge today with my brother and we didn't expect too much because of the bad signals we always got when going there ( you literally couldn't walk without getting junk hits) but we managed to still find some cool coins. First we hit the 1944 wheat penny that was shot, we think someone used it for target practice in the 1950's. After finding that, we were pretty happy and didn't expect to find anything else. Boy were we wrong! About half an hour after the whet penny, we got a solid 87 signal at the AT pro at 6 inches deep. Expecting it to just be a clad quarter that was deep, I dug down and located it with my pro pointer. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was a 1919 Canadian quarter in great condition! We will be hitting that spot again for sure! Thanks for looking and check out our youtube video for live action of the hunt in the field. HH!

Those Pics are much better, Thanks, cropping first makes a hige difference.
But my original grade stands. Sharp coin, great find, no disrespect, but what you got about 30% luster on the reverse onlywhich is typical, it is an EF coin. No more, and great for found.

Here's one for non found for grade reference.

You can call your coin Au if you want, as grading is subjective, but it's not AU, so why not call a spade a spade ?

Thank you for the info! I have no idea about grading so that was very helpful

Well THANK YOU, and your welcome. Some people don't like an honest (and accurate) grade. It seems many diggers do tend to over grade, over value stuff that they find. I guess it is understandable, if using ebay as a guide, as most 80% of the stuff on there is over graded too.

BTW it is a better George V quarter than I've ever dug, and by a quite a bit.

Thats good to hear. that has to be my favorite dug silver yet, and thank you again for taking the time to grade it, I was wondering what the grade was but didnt want to waste time going to a coin dealer
