I found this SLQ while metal-detecting and I'm amazed at how nice it looks. The only thing I did was rinse it lightly with water to get the dirt off. Thoughts on grade?

Where were you metal detecting, in a bank vault?

Gee, I'm out of practice on these, but I'll take a flyer on it. It's in the EF neighborhood. Nice coin.

I'd say Ef-45/Au-50

I've found some nice stuff detecting but nothing nice in slqs...very sharp coin. I don't suppose you'd like to tell us where you were detecting?

Nice job! I would not have guessed that as a metal detect find. It looks more like it was lost recently from a collection than buried for years in the ground from circulation. Looks like it's been cleaned before too, but definitely XF+ details and one of the toughest SLQ dates to boot!

That's insane, filo4567. The problem is, what do you do for an encore?

Thank you all! Yes, I was thinking it was somewhere in the XF range for details but it is an absolutely beautiful coin. I was stunned to see it pop out of the ground. I'm certain it wasn't cleaned unless someone cleaned it before losing it 90 years ago. I found it in a well-hunted city park that I have found many silver coins at before but never anything this nice. It was deep enough for me to know that it had probably been there for years and wasn't a drop from someone's coin collection. Definitely the best coin I've ever found.
