DUG A KEY DATE STANDING LIBERTY TODAY

P@tch · Jan 1, 2015

Started out today with a couple friends hunting a colonial site with no luck,but good company to start a new year. My cousin Brian and I went to a permission site around noon,and the first thing that I dug was a full date 1921 standing liberty quarter. Later in the day I scored my second silver,a 1939 merc. Love them mercs. My cousin ended our hunt with a nice Buffalo. Happy Newyear Everybody.

Full date SLQ... very nice.

Very nice finding a slq, and a 1921 to boot. Every time I go out to hunt an older site, I am hoping I will dig one. Every hole I dig, I am looking for that slq. After 3 years now, I am still looking. I remember when I was a kid, walking down the street and looking at one in my hand, that I just collected form a customer. I was born in 1945, and had a paper route, and remember all those Walking Liberty, and Ben Franklins, halfs, and the merc's and the nickels with the big mint mark above Monticello. Now when I dig silver, it brings back memories. I love this sport.

Great dig- nothing beats silver to start the New Year!

sweet standing lib. that's awesome that the date wasn't worn off. I always like to hear when someone posts finding a key date

Very nice finds. Congrats on the slq and the merc. Thanks for sharing.

Yes key date nice one...

Excellent finds on the slq and the mercury dime. A buffalo nickel is a great find in my book. I've only found 1 slq and the date is unreadable. If I get to go to the coin show later this month, I plan to take it and see if anybody with a microscope can read the date. I doubt it, but it won't hurt to try. HH.

Congrats on the key date SLQ! I collect that series and always look forward to seeing them posted- was lucky enough to pluck a '21 myself a couple of years ago. Hopefully your next one will the 1916! Congrats and continued success to you!

Any SLQ predating 1925 with a date is a tough find , To find an early key is amazing ! I'm still looking forward to finding
my first SLQ. Very Nice !

Congratulations on the Standing Liberty Quarter!

Great finds, I'd love to see a good closeup, looks like your camera will work, just need a steady hand and a few pix to choose from. Here is a link to your SLQ

Whoa! Now that's a nice find. Finding a SLQ is always nice. Finding an earlier one with a date is nicer. Finding a key date is the cat's meow. If you're in a club and they have a finds of the month like mine does you should certainly win the finds of the month in the silver coin category. I'm hitting the banner button too. Way to go!

Nice SLQ. I've only dug one in 2.5 years of detecting!

Great looking silvers.

DaneMom · Jan 4, 2015

Real beauty Todd. Congrats

Very nice quarter! Happy Hunting 2015

I personally don't find these as often as the other silver quarters. I'm assuming because of the shorter years of mintage compared to the others. I have more silver Washingtons and Barbers than these. I also seem to have more silver Mercury dimes than Roosevelts. Again, a longer mintage period. Congrats on this beauty.
