Bucket Lister: My first SLQ!

[ScaredOfClowns]

Today I went for a hunt at a local schoolyard and hit an area that I've had some luck with lately. After digging some typical clad and junk, I found this cool old Good Luck token:



It must have done the trick, because my very next signal was a solid 30 VDI quarter signal. I cut a plug, dug about 8" down, scooped out the dirt and immediately see a coin with a beautiful solid silver reeded edge:



I carefully cleaned it off, and it was a 1919 Standing Liberty Quarter - the first SLQ I've ever found, and a real beauty:



I've wanted to find one of these for a long time, and finding one in nice shape with a clear date is a real bonus.

Thanks for looking - HH!

Absolutely incredible coin! I've collected that series for about 50 years and always look forward to seeing them posted. Yours is about as fine as I've ever seen for an early date- too bad it didn't have a D or S mintmark (would've been worth some serious $), but it's amazing regardless- Congrats!!

You might consider getting that SLQ graded; it looks like a $100+ coin.
Congrats !!
