    Seated Quarter Week's Hunts

    It was 25 degrees at daybreak yesterday ...and that's my limit, any colder and it wouldn't be fun.
    This morning was a bit warmer and a snow covering made for pretty sights. I was also able to get some short afterwork hunts in this week.
    The nicest find was an 1876 quarter , the indians weren't bad either, 1874,1901,1902
    A bunch of relics rounded out the week. Thanks! THE DAYS ARE GETTING LONGER NOW!!

    Wow, I'm not sure how I missed this post! LOVE that seated quarter!

    Is it an "S" mint mark? I have only found 3 seated quarters and both are 1876-S.

    You found some nice relics too. I really like the watch winder and the thimble. The 1874 Indian is a nice older date.

    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

    Thanks guys, Al...the only problem I'm still having is that the tips of my fingers get really cold. I haven't found the right gloves yet, warm and able to mess with the controls.
