After a few years of only finding silver dimes and war nickels, I finally came across my first silver quarter! I found the quarter along with a few other nice finds at an old school that has been converted into a community center.

Here are my notable finds after a few hunts there: 1897 Barber quarter, 1910 Barber dime, 1917 Mercury dime, and dateless Buffalo.

The quarter is probably the ugliest silver coin I've ever pulled out of the ground, but I am still thrilled. Thanks for looking!

Nice coin, quarters seem to be few and far between. Its also pretty cool that your first one was a Barber from the 1800's.

What an excellent hunt!
Find a nice, cushy spot for that barber, looks like it's had a rough life.
Nice job

Sure a great one for your first!! I wouldn't call it ugly, just one with a lot of "character". I'd certainly go back and see if I could find a prettier one. Congratulations on the silver.

Congrats!
Yes, silver quarters are hard to come by, they were large targets back in the 1980's - '90's, so many were scooped up!

Lordy I've been trying to find a silver quarter to complete a scavenger hunt my club holds. In 4 years I've found a few silver dimes but quarters, halves and dollars have eluded me. Congrats on busting out with your first. Keep going.
