dug 1917s Lib quarter is it valuable? pics

[silverswede]

This coin had been underground for 60 plus years and is still in this condition. Found at an old mining camp site that was abandoned before wwII. It is uncleaned and I know very little about coin values. could any anyone on here comment.

Not a coin expert but my opinion I would grade it at F-12 and for a Variety 1,the 2010
Red Book list it for $100. Just a guess

you coin is the rare 1917 type 1 "bared" (left) breast standing liberty quarter--- such a hue and cry went forth from the public that the mint altered the design to "cover" the breast of lady liberty the same year --the 1917 standing liberty quarter type 2 has 3 stars under the eagle on the back --the type 1* does not ---thus yours clearly is a type 1 and is a collectors item -- its exact condition is hard to judge unless your there in person but its a very nice highly worth while find --from a collectors veiw point plus its SILVER!!

great find!!......yes, it is easily Very Fine, very close to Extremely Fine........don't have a price guide handy but this is definately the correct grade and therefore a higher price than graded just Fine.

Congrats!
