this week's silver find...

Hit an old beach this week.Strong winds and the wave action pushed this out from the water.Also hit a 1921 small penny that was really cooked in that salted water.I zapped this silver for a couple of minutes.Didnt want to overdo it as it seems it was wiping away the details.

Nice find.
Is that 1960, 30, 50? I can't tell.

King George V

Appearing on the quarter from 1911 to 1936, King George V’s portrait faces right. Surrounding his effigy is the legend “Georgivs V Dei Gra: Rex et Ind: Imp:” (George V, by the grace of God, the King and Emperor of India). For part of 1911 the words “Dei Gra” were left off the dies, at first through error, but it was followed by a proclamation, which was later reversed. These coins have become known as the “Godless” coins by collectors.

Reverse designs:

CROSSED MAPLE BOUGHS OR MAPLE LEAF WREATH
1870 to 1936
The design depicts a Maple Leaf wreath with a crown at the 12 o’clock position and a ribbon bow in the 6 o’clock position. In the center of the wreath is the denomination and date. The inscription “CANADA” was moved to the reverse in 1902. Special varieties of note are: 1906 - large crown and small crown; 1936 – dot appearing below the knot in the bow.

The magic of google!

Great find

Cool beans, if one can't find a silver U.S. coin, find the next best thing. WTG
