Lets see your BEST ever condition SLQ

Digger. After a closer look your coin IS uncirculated. Probably close to MS63 with what they call a 'full head' strike. AMAZING.
And AJ you have a winner also with that rare 1921 in great shape!
 
A lot of people think the Walking Liberty half is the most beautiful coin but my favorite is the Standing Liberty quarter . So rare to find one with little wear . You guys have found some beauties !
 
I didn't either until I looked down, instead of up! I catch myself doing the same thing at the beach! :rofl:
 
I think the conditions is upward toward MS-60. But technically, to be "Mint State anything", it has to be uncirculated. This one was obviously put into circulation for it to have been lost in the park. So the best it can be would be AU-something. AU-58 on the Sheldon scale means that it is Very Choice, almost Uncirculated, having the slightest signs of wear marks, no major contact marks, luster and positive eye appeal. When you look at the eagles breast feathers on the reverse, you can see it couldn't have been carried very long, before being lost. It is the only one I've ever found with this much detail in those feathers. I should probably put it in a bowl of distilled water, allowing the remaining dirt to rinse off......then have it slabbed. I just hate to spend $75 for some grading company to tell me a $275 coin is authentic. HH Randy

Randy, that is one prize find you got there. I have never seen a SLQ look as good as that one is and for it to be a 17d to boot. a type 1 SLQ has always been on my wish list and is still near the top of that list.
 
Gotta agree with all the other comments about Randy`s slq...I found myself staring at it just admiring the condition it`s in...and dug out of the ground, YES!!!! congrats on an awesome find! Thanks goes4ever for the post we all got too see some sweet coins:thumbup:
 
Most standing quarters even uncirculated, the head is not fully struck with detail. You need to have that one appraised---Wade
 
awesome finds..


The year was 1916. World World I was raging in Europe, and the political climate in the United States was definitely guarded. Nine years earlier, President Theodore Roosevelt had initiated using classical design motifs for our gold coins, and now, as the Coinage Act of 1890 had authorized, the smaller silver coins were eligible for changes. U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Charles Barber
