My first SLQ ~ 1949 & 1950 Silver Dimes ~ 1945 War nickel

Today I met Wayne & Ron at Skinner Butte Park in Eugene Oregon to do some detecting. I dug my first Standing Liberty Quarter (no date, 1917 to 1924 style ~ "S" mint) ~ 1949-S and 1950-D Silver Roosevelt dimes ~ 1945-S War nickel ~ and about $3.00 in clad. Also, I found a lead seal ~ one side reads USA, and the other side reads YNP. Anyone know what this lead seal was used for? What's YNP stand for?

Great digs.....I got my first SLQ just the other day and what a thrill it was. Don't get me wrong, I love finding Rosie's and Merc's, but there is just something about those larger silver coin that makes your pulse race.....congrats and keep em coming.....

Nice finds, too bad that SLQ doesn't have a date! Keep up the good work.

Nice find....Just a guess but could YNP stand for Yellowstone National Park?

Congratulations on a first! Very exciting finding your first SLQ. Looks like you had a good weekend. I have found a seal like yours but am clueless as to what it was used for.

Nice find....Just a guess but could YNP stand for Yellowstone National Park?

Yeah! That's the best lead I've got so far! But why would it be here? Yellowstone is like 700 or 800 miles from Eugene Oregon!

Awesome finds and I really like the lead bag seal! No help on the ID, I have found hundreds of them with no idea what or where they come from. It could have come from as far as England or Germany, for export as an example but, those rays look to be from the States. HH, Mike

Great SLQ!!
It has been through a lot of hands and well used.

Could also stand for Yosemite National Park...a little closer than Yellowstone

Really nice treasures, congrats!
Cool lead seal, now that's something you don't see every day here in the states at least. Cool!

Smiles!
