Was this a super amazing junk bin pickup?

    You know how some coin shops have a junk silver bin, and some even have a "worse-than-junk" junk bin? Picked this up for melt today out of that WTJB...

    1921 Standing Liberty Quarter.jpg

    The last digit doesn't look anything like the angled 7 of a 1917 or 1927, or the angled 9 of a 1919 or 1929...meaning it has to be a 1, and thus a 1921. I'm thinking it's a G4...do you agree?

    I saw 1921 before I read your description for what it's worth... :)

    You can tell the first and last digit are the same, so a 1. You can also see the flatness of the 3rd digit, so a 2. Nice score.

    Not enough rim for a G-4, but still a great find, $100+.

    Pretty sure it's a 1921 too. Congrats on the score for melt! Someone will need it as a filler for sure....

    Not a 'super amazing' find, but certainly a 'super' find for sure. :)

    That is not even close, imo, to WTJ. Good for you!

    Actually, that is quite a 'strong' date for the coin's overall grade. The date is often gone by the time Typ-2s get to Fine.

    Ha ha...maybe it's been a while since the last really good score. A pick like this certainly helps pay for gas :)

    It's a 1931!! List it on FleaBay for $1 million.

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    I agree with Chris. 1931.

    Great

    I got a 1921 the same way a number of years ago.
    Now in an ANACS G-4 slab, and I paid a $1 for it.

    I miss finding interesting coins in the junk bin. My LCS has had nothing but common date Morgans and Peace dollars for months. I may have to venture farther out.

    I wish my LCS had a junk bin. They have a foreign dollar bin that I have picked clean and now it's just proof Bahamas junk.
