Well, well well... look who finally showed up late for the party.

Miss SLQ! <:

I've been waiting for this one for almost two years.
It was still close to 90 degrees at 7:30 tonight when I decided to head out and hunt until dark. Sure glad I did.
I didn't get my coil over many 'dig me' signals, but the SLQ finally graced me with her presence. :smitten:
It feels great to be able to scratch this 'first' off my list.

 

[v3ikid]

Very nice on the SLQ, I still remember the spot where i dug my first and only one. Congrats. :clapping:

 

[Epi-hunter]

[jkress]

Thanks folks. thumbsup01

Nice...and you didn't even scratch her lol Well maybe the reverse side :dontknow:

No... didn't hit this one. lol I wished I would have brought my camera along, because it was picture perfect. The coin was very close to a metal pole, but I could pinpoint it pretty easily with the detector. Dug a small diameter but deep plug and there the it was... stuck dead center on the bottom of the flipped plug. I could see it was a SLQ before I even touched it. Yep, did one of these... :happydance01: with a little <: thrown in. lol

[Tony Two-Cent]

[leslie(nova scotia)]

yo J

From the land of the Bluenose.....glad you got a date with her. next to impossible in my neck of th woods. Gud un! <

 

[aloldstuff]

Very nice, the wait is over. Those SLQ's are elusive, congrats

 

[RobW]

thumbsup01 Awsome...congrats!

 

[Bell-Two]

You did not show the back, if there ar no stars under the Eagle then it is a Type 1 with either 1916 or 1917. The 1916 can be verified by some other details, the 1916 is worth mucho bucks even in a very worn condition. The 1917 was changed mid year and three stars were moved to below the Eagle and Miss Liberty was given a more modest gown! Below is the picture of a 1917 Type 1 that I found ...in fact the only SLQ I have found and to top that it was the first Silver quarter that I found!

 

[Tony Two-Cent]

Kinda hard to tell from his obverse photo, but I think it's a Type II, as you can vaguely see the neckline of her garment which was added to the Type II coins. I don't know, it's hard to tell.

The reverse should tell you for sure. thumbsup01

 

[tanacat]

:happydance01: :happydance01: :happydance01: Woo hoo for you! I found my first (and only) last month- bet you did the happy dance as much as me lol

Btw, love your 2011 photo album. Cool dinosaur token.

 

[angellionel]

Congrats on a very nice find Joe! :clapping: The Standing Liberty quarters are a favorite of mine. I love the design. :smitten: There will be more to come for you. :grin:

 

[pipster]

Nice...and you didn't even scratch her lol

nice find you got i just had to quote that becuz i scratched the living #%&^ out of my first indian no it does not compare to a SLQ but i am sure i will scratch one of those too :crying02:

 

[jkress]

You did not show the back, if there ar no stars under the Eagle then it is a Type 1 with either 1916 or 1917.

The reverse should tell you for sure. thumbsup01

Yeah, it does have the stars under the Eagle on back. I noticed the different types when I went to the Red Book to possibly get a date.
I'm guessing it probably falls in the 1917 to 1924 range because it does not look to have the depression in the pedestal that was
started in 1925. By the way... the 1917 you found is a beauty Bell-Two.

nice find you got i just had to quote that becuz i scratched the living #%&^ out of my first indian

I know the feeling. I hit my first WLH. crying01 I think it happens to all of us from time to time. Part of the game. lol
