Default Found in a bag

I was sorting through a $100 face bag of silver Washington quarters and
found three Standing Liberty quarters! Two have the dates worn out but one
is from 1926. These are the first SQLs I have ever seen.

A great find, PC! Those SLQ coins are really beautiful in the higher grades!
I have one that I've carried as "a pocket coin" for a good while. The date
was already completely gone when I first acquired it, but the "s" mint mark
is still clearly discernible. (It's just to the left of where the date would
be.) I'll bet you can still see the "M" on the right side, which is the last
initial of the coin's designer, Hermon MacNeil.

Sorry about the multiple posts. That's not by design. For some reason my
outbound mail doesn't appear to be sent, but in actuality, it is being sent
multiple times. I've not seen this happen before. Again, I apologize for
this crazy behavior.

Larry
