That SLQ is spectacular, Tim! WOW! That spill must have happened in 1917 because the dates wore off of those SLQs in no time. That's one of the nicest examples I've seen on this forum.
You know you've had a great hunt when an 1897 barber Quarter comes in second place.

Wonderful silver Tim! Never found an SLQ myself, though alas I only hunt really old field and wood sites.
