So,I just have to ask. What is your method of detecting that you are able to find all the ponderous coins that you do?
I have been thinking, for a while, about purchasing a metal detector because I live within walking distance of two potential honey holes, or, at least I would think they would be honey holes.
One is a 19th Century hotel that has been abandoned for close to 75 years and the other is a very old (pre civil war) trolley stop. I would imagine a lot money changed hands or was lost at those two locations.
The 1854-O huge O variety is the most over rated variety of the Liberty Seated quarter series. A dealer who had a quantity of these years ago did a fantastic job of marketing the variety and drove the price through the roof. You can find more Huge O 1854 quarters than the normal O at any given time online. There is nothing truly special about it.
Quote: Too bad the 75 is the above the bow variety. What ever, it is a CC! The 76 is a better date too
The 1875-CC is slightly more common than the below bow variety and both as a date are easily located.
The 1876-CC has the highest mintage of Carson City Liberty Seated dimes at 8,270,000. It actually is the most common CC dime.
It is really interesting to see people make these sort of comments when they know virtually nothing about the series they are commenting on. If they did they would not post such inaccurate information.
Amazing Left Coast finds as good as they come. These remind me of a popular bar bet I read about at the introduction of Barber coinage in 1892. You would say to a fellow patron If you have four quarters I'll bet you I can pick their dates. For each date I get right you give me all quarters that match. if I guess wrong I'll give you a quarter. I will pick four dates only and all that match are mine. Would you take the bet? The dates chosen were revealed to be 1854, 1855, 1876 and 1877.
