    I found this over the weekend while metal detecting and was stunned to see it come out of the ground. This was my first SLQ and she looks like a beaut. What grade would something like this fall under?

    F/VF - the obverse is nice, but the reverse has some extra funkiness going on. Though, regardless, for a free dug coin it looks very nice.

    If it was cleaned it was done around 1917.

    Did it look like this out of the ground, or did you clean it up a bit?

    I did no cleaning besides rinsing it off with water. Thats how it looked out of the ground.

    How far down in the ground was it? Was it covered in dirt?

    It was about 3-4" down and I am sure was down there for 90+ years.
