I finally found my first standing liberty quarter yesterday. It's very worn and I can't get a date on it but I was happy when it popped up.

I also found a 1918 King George V large penny that was in beautiful condition, with a rich green patina. Does that count as a large cent?

No matter what shape it's in nice save. It's always exciting finding the first of something.

Nice finds. Did you find both of those in WA state?

:thumbsup:
 
Awesome find! Less than 1% of my silver coin finds have be Standing Liberty quarters. I've found more Barber halves than SLQs! Really nice find! Thanks for posting.
 
Congrats on the nice recoveries! Is that SLQ a type 1 (no stars below the eagle on the reverse) or a type 2 (stars below the eagle on the reverse)?
 
I'm half tempted to tumble it for a few minutes to take the rough dull finish off. It looks terrible

The dates on SLQ's wear off easily. Thus a lot of those that get found by md'rs are slick dates :roll:

Love the green patina on that copper !
 
Congratulations on two very nice digs, and especially on your first SLQ. Great finds! :clapping:
 
Nice finds! Congrats on crossing that off the list! That darn SLQ has eluded me for years as well.

It's British. George wears a crown on the Canadian large cent but it is the same size

I should have looked at the pics better :laughing: funny how those later foreign coppers come out with that beautiful green patina most times, and usually clean up really nice. Congrats again!
