A Couple Silvers To Break The Ice

[fsa46]

I broke the dry spell with a couple silvers and two IHs in the last two hunts. One hunt on Saturday and a hunt this morning. Sunday and yesterday were spent in bed recovering from my stupidity Sunday hunt.

Anyway, the Standing Liberty and the 1928 Merc came from the same location. I have hunted this spot many times and it just goes to show, you never get everything, even if you think you have.

A 1987 IH and 1901 IH were taken at another spot on Saturday. I'm having a problem downloading from Photobucket for some reason and if I get them downloaded I will post them.

It felt good to get out this morning and I'll be there again tomorrow, weather permitting.

I originally thought I had a 1917 SLQ because it appeared the last number is a 7 and looked like the breast was exposed. However, after looking at the picture closer, I can see the shoulder strap of the chain vest that was added at a later date. So if the last number is in fact a 7 it would have to be a 1927.

Here are the rest of the pictures....

Congrats on a couple of very nice silvers. You are correct that nothing is ever totally hunted out and it usually pays to keep hitting sites.

You just don't see many come up for us. crying01 When they do, it's :happydance01: time.
Congrats on the Merc too. Both are excellent finds.

Nice Silver. Funny how well the SLQ looks, but the dates are always gone. Congrats!

Glad to hear that you are feeling better. Couple of nice hunts and any dated SLQ is tops in my book. Congrats

Hey fsa46 nice going. 1917 was a transitional year, they made both bare and mailed breast types. My type set holds a VF '17 s to represent the bare breast variety. Those worn dates are soooo tough to make out.
HH!

YT, unfortunetly it didn't turn out to be the 1917 I thought, the chain vest is worn off and I thought the bare breast was showing until I noticed the shoulder strap from the vest in the picture I posted. >:{ >:{

very nice coins Frank :clapping: :clapping: keep plugging away at those sites i'm sure theres more to be found there.

Great looking SLQ, and from what I've seen almost all of them found before 1924 won't have a date, but it doesn't take a thing away from the coin. They are tough to find and this is a great example of a good SLQ. The Merc is a dream too. :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

fsa46 - just flip any dateless SL over, no stars directly under the eagle and you have a type one, 1916-17. Your pic shows stars. My dad and I spent plenty of quality time pulling silver out of circulation in the late 60's. Seeing type 1 reverse always got myblood going...flip it over and blank date...arrgh.! Any SL is one of my favorite finds!

Sweet finds Frank! It looks like you can barely make out some of the digits on the SLQ. :yes:
