4th Hunt First Silver

[Ahab8]

So this was my 4th time out and I went to a new site that I've been researching. Very long walk but along the ocean and absolutely beautiful. Here are today's finds. The silver is a canadian 25 cent piece and I can make out 87 on it where the date would be. These are the last two numbers so I'm assuming this is an 1887 which I see is a very low mintage. I'm thinking rather than trying to do anything to this one maybe I should let a pro handle this one. Found a very old copper as well but I can't I.d. It.

If you see 87 , then yes you have an 1887 Canadian 25 cent key date. The condition it's in would put it at 100-125 $

Am I able to take it somewhere to have it professionally cleaned ? I'm not going to sell anything but would like it displayed as nicely as possible. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Good looks on that 25 cent piece!!

Its really a self preference if you want to have it cleaned or not... Remember its going to cost around $100 to have it cleaned and graded.... So if its worth $150 you'll only make $50 if you sell it... I personally would not have it cleaned I just rinse my silver coins with just water for the most part. Again, its your call in the end...


Keep @ it and HH !!

Honestly I cleaned my Slq like an idiot and decreased the value 75$ just with baking soda and my finger. I would sell as is. I yet to sell any of my finds except to common silver rosies

Yeah I'm just going to keep all my finds anyway but I certainly don't want to do any damage. I've been know to make some "idiot" decisions so I appreciate all of the good feedback guys. I was just psyched to dig my first silver coin. My second time out I found an 1820 large cent and a kg Irish half penny so I'm feeling pretty good about things. I have done a hell of a lot of research locally and it's paying off so far!
