....from the UGLY tree!!!! :shocked04: lol Man, this former quarter took a beating. I'm not sure how it got this way but I'd say it still counts.

I got out yesterday for a while and this was the only keeper. My hunting buddy did way better. He found an 1829 capped bust dime!!

This thing rang up as a nickel for some reason. When it popped out I thought it was just a piece of junk metal but then I saw the eagle and I knew it was a standing liberty quarter. Funny thing is I was actually able to see the date, a 1924. Cool!

Thanks for looking and happy hunting! :groovy:

:yes: Yeah that's one ugly SLQ! :hysterical:
But I think it might be a counterfeit one :thinkingabout:
The way it's corroding around the edges. Kind of like a zinc penny does. :confused:
Plus it coming in like a nickle :eyebrow: That sounds fishy to me. :-\
This would be the first counterfeit one I've ever seen if it is a counterfeit. There were a lot of tough times in the 20's and 30's . It wouldn't surprise me if they are out there.
It's still a cool find!
Congrats! :grin:

Looks like I may have to take it off of my silver count if it is indeed a counterfeit! Too bad. :girlcry:

:shocked04: Definitely more than a 'few' branches. lol

I'd have to agree it does not quite look authentic, but a cool and unusual find nonetheless. :yes:

Very nice keeper Snap!!

WOW! I'll have to agree with the others. That is one ugly SLQ. Be sure to let us know what you find out about it. Cool find.
