Today I went for a hunt at a local schoolyard and hit an area that I've had some luck with lately. After digging some typical clad and junk, I found this cool old Good Luck token:



It must have done the trick, because my very next signal was a solid 30 VDI quarter signal. I cut a plug, dug about 8" down, scooped out the dirt and immediately see a coin with a beautiful solid silver reeded edge:



I carefully cleaned it off, and it was a 1919 Standing Liberty Quarter - the first SLQ I've ever found, and a real beauty:



I've wanted to find one of these for a long time, and finding one in nice shape with a clear date is a real bonus.

Thanks for looking - HH!

OutSTANDing quarter you saved there, ScaredofClowns!

A quick glance at the PCGS coin grading app suggests this beauty is at least AU50. Congrats on your first SLQ, and what a gorgeous one she is!

Great quarter you found there.

Until 1925, the date wasn't recessed and easily worn off. If you have a copy of the Red book, you will see the higher prices of 1916 - 1924 vs. 1925 - 1930.

Congratulations!

That is one very nice coin.
I can imagine your excitement digging that baby out of the ground.

What no fair your first SLQ is supposed to be slick like mine was. So was the second. Third was not to wore out and the date was there, but your looks like it was not in circulation long before it was lost. Congrats, It's beauty!
