Silver in the hole...Kinda...

[TnT2000]

Hit the old farmhouse again today I had an hour to spare. Imagine a great hit
on the xlt.
I dig 6" and see the flash of silver, The excitement grows as I see
that its about quarter size, then I see the stars..(yes Barber quarter).
I
get it out of the hole rub the dirt off and wa wa wa this is what I got....

Any idea's on the age I would love to know I have not found any info yet..

I have seen nothing like it before, so the rarity should be worth something and if not, its still cool.

Nice find and congrats on your hunt. Just the history of the man and his accomplishments would make me happy. I googled it and did find this info on it's apparent rarity and value . . .
