Congrats on the silver.

From the wear the quarter might of been in circulation for 20 yrs.
Some soils are kind and don't do much to silvers.
Digging a key date and a thumb rub might rub the value in a negative direction.

I found a silver quarter in a friends yard and went and got him to flip the plug and pull the coin and go clean off the dirt. It is a well worn 1940 but with the D mint mark and much rarer than a 1940 philly coin. Anyway...he rubbed the dirt off before getting it wet and it's all scratched up from that and ruined any real numismatic value it had.
Not a big deal but I sure wish I had cleaned it correctly.

either way. i find the historical and educational value far exceeds and monetary value; in all finds. Just to think about who may have carried a thing piques my interest more than any other aspect of an item

Didn't say it was this one was.

What if it was this one instead.
One thumb rub away from taking the $$$ out of the equation.
