1917 SLQ almost perfect shape

[jabbo]

Found it in the yard of an abandoned farm today, near the edge of the property, plus a flat button. My first time there. I know the place was searched before because no other coins were found, lots of tall weeds, gotta wait till winter when the weeds die down. Of course I hit it with my digging tool, never happens to memorial pennies.

That's a great looking coin. I've never found one before.

I was thrilled when I found it because SLQ are not found too often. It's my second 1917, first one in same condition without any nicks. This one was only about 4 inches deep.

You almost always find the SLQ's either very nice or worn.. Ever think how many SLQ's were in the tips we left at Johnny's Dinner? Go back this Winter..

wow, guess i never really even looked at one closely in the collectors book, didnt realize they where that good looking, as you know most found are just a ghost of the original. Nice find.Good Hunts, CO

I also dug a '17 yrs ago but it's pretty much toast.......think I've only dug 4-5 slq's. It's my second favorite coin ever minted, they are gorgeous coins.

good job!!!!!!

Like many people, I think the Walking Liberty Half's and the Standing Liberty Quarter's are the best looking coins ever minted in the US !
Congrats on finding a SLQ in such great condition !

Beautiful quarter. That design is my favorite. HH

What amazes me is how often the SLQ is dug with heavy wear. Of all the silver I have dug including Seated they are without a doubt found (by me anyway) with the most wear.
