SLQ, barbers, and a Merc....and it ain't no joke in this heat

Snuck away from work and went to a newer site. The ground was dust, the grass was half dead and mostly dust, the temp was 89 degrees, and humidity was 75%. It was rough out there.

Did about 2.5 hrs and got some great results. Dug a bunch of wheats and a few Indians. In between all them snagged two barbers (one with an almost hole), a Merc, and a 1923 SLQ in pretty good shape. Probably the best one out of the 9 I've found.

I think I overdid I today in the heat. My apologies for the lame and short post. I need AC and a BEER

I am happy with Indians. I normally post them but I just don't have it in me today to clean them.

FIRE I say, fire!
Congrats bud, your a silver finding son of a gun.

I can't even imagine finding 9 SLQ's ! They definitely are a bucket list coin for me . Getting one from pre 1924 with a date
is quite an accomplishment !

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Awesome silvers! Wheats and IH too!

I hope your drinking water while your out in the heat.

 

[basque-man]

[Snowjonson]

Brad, I was on fire today. Literally. I look like a lobsta' after it's been boiled

A couple barbers, a merc and a SLQ with a date, Killer hunt!!

Do I have to find 9 SLQ's before I get one with a date? Lol

 

[Scrappy]

Real nice Steve!!
That slq has great detail.

Thanks George. The condition was even better once I cleaned it. It's actually worth a few bucks. Also the 1905 Barber is the "micro O" variety. Too bad the 1923 ain't an S mintage.

Thx. Nah, I think I had some bad luck with condition with SLQ. One I found was stoved in, flattened, and oval. See?lol

Nice grouping of silvers, the SLQ is one great looking coin.
