    Walker, Nice Standing Liberty Quarters and more

    Went to a new spot today and it turned out great. Not just one nice standing liberty quarter, but two! Also found a very decent 1918-S Walker in addition to a couple of Mercs, a silver Roosie and 2 silver Washington quarters. The quarters came out of the same hole as the 1917 Merc along with the 3 Buffalos. Good idea to double check your holes

    The stars of the show were the Walker and SLQ's. The all look much nicer in person.

    It's hard enough to find one SLQ so when your post headline said "Standing Liberty Quarters" I just had to see them. Both are dated which is a treat in itself. Huge on your hunt

    Without question, one of the best hunts I've ever seen! TWO gorgeous Standing Liberty Quarters with clear dates is incredible! Add an early date Walker and you've got a spectacular hunt for sure!

    That SLQ on the left is just breathtaking. Hardly any wear on it at all, and I love it when you can still see the beading around the rim. AWESOME!

    Lifetime totals:
    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves
