out-STANDING.....50 CENTS & a Watch Fob

[looknforgold]

Saturday was a nice day to get out here, a bit of a chill in the air that lead up to a very nice day, and hunt. The day started off just like the weather, chilly with only 3 wheat's to show for my efforts. my first nice target was an awesome Watch Fob from Toronto, WHAT?..I live in Oklahoma


After a bit of research I found out (I believe), it's from the 3rd triennial convention of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen in Toronto, May 1922.

A bit later I dug my first Standing Liberty Quarter of the year (no date though), but I'll take it...and then I dug a '55 Washington to finish off my hunt. Here is a couple of pictures of the goods, Thanks for looking, DirtDiga


NOTE: Also pictured is a Sterling Silver Wedding Band I found during the week on a short after work hunt

I'll help you with dating your SLQ:
It was not minted in either 1916 nor 1922.
Great saves !!

The watch fob is really great and far from home too. And it has been quite some time since I pulled two silver quarters on one hunt.

I had an outstanding day too...

I was out standing in the rain earlier. :P

PS> Well done.

Wow,what a great help you have given,but to know the truth of the 1916 or not ,the reverse would have to be shown of the coin.

'thrifty76 now', not true.
I can tell the coin is not a 1916 by just the obverse which shows a Denver mint mark. The 1916 had no mint mark.
If the coin has no stars under the reverse eagle then it is a Type 1; with the stars, it's a Type 2.
