Found one of my favs!

[JeffInMass]

Anyone who reads my posts knows I'm a collector and big fan of Standing Liberty quarters. Took a trip yesterday to my old home town and, during a dry spell between all the rain, hit a park on the other side of the bridge. I was grabbing quite a few wheats and a pretty cool silver marine pin, but no silver coins. As the weather started turning for the worse, I headed back to the car - the magic words!

Get a signal about 10 inches down and a solid silver tone- would've filmed it live, but it was a mess out there, so I was kind of in a hurry to dig and run. Turned out I was lucky enough to nab SLQ #18, no date, really worn, but I'm thrilled with it nonetheless. I've been fortunate that of the 18, this is only the 4th without a date- typically you'd think that ratio would be the opposite. Ended up with 8 wheats, oldest 1912. There'll be return trips for sure when it isn't soaking.

Enjoy the pics and HH all!

Yes, this is a nice find worn or not. Don't know about you, but as a kid, I had these in my pocket all the time. Walker halves too.

Been into coins since I was a kid in the 60's & 70's- used to get those kinds of coins from the guy who ran the local chicken/egg store, he'd give them to my grandfather for face value- 50 years later I still love them- especially SLQs!

SLQs are also in my top 10 of our beauties. I have one slabbed in MS 65 full face. I can stare at her for hours. ( I sound like a perv)

Congrats on the silver. Standing Lib's are always nice, even if they don't have a date.
