First Standing Liberty Quarter

[wymanwvp1]

Did some research and found an old homesite and store in a local park. After finding a few wheaties and a bunch of pull tabs i found my first SLQ! It was only like 2 inches deep. I only stayed for about an hour cause the rain was really comming down. Can't wait to go back and hit that spot up somemore!
Now if i can only break the 1900 barrier i will be happy. lol
Also found a makeup Compact thing from a company called Princess Pat. Looks like it is made out of copper or something.

Congratulations on your first
SLQ.
I hope you break the 1900 barrier real soon.

Congrats Wyman and isn't really cool when you see something like that pop out of the ground! In fact I found my first SLQ just a few weeks ago in a roadside rest area about 3 miles north of my house. Now who would have ever figured on that! It was only 3 inches deep. Ok I hope you find some more soon Wyman and God Bless ya.

Thank you both! Yeah it is awesome to see silver come out of the ground Especially when it's a coin no longer minted.

Boobie, Hopefully we will find tons of good stuff when ever we finally get a chance to meet up and go out!

Thank you Indy!

I just noticed something........ My SLQ is suppossed to have a reeded edge, but this one has a smooth edge Like a nickel. Is it common for the reeds to wear down? Or could i have a conterfit or maybe an error coin?????
I doubt it is conterfit. It is definately silver and is exactly the same size as a silver washington quarter. But it is a tiny bit thinner than a washington.
