    Hi All

    Another find -

    From my research I believe this is a 1917-1924 Quarter, but is there a way to get the date closer?

    Thank you so much!

    Actually in this photo the faint outline of a 2 is visable (couldnt see that in person )

    So I think its 1920s, so it must be a 20,23, or 24

    I used to pick stuff like this out of the change when I was a kid..........it was maddening to me that the date was totally rubbed off, yet the mint mark remained. Oh how I lamented.

    Looking close I think I see the ghost of a 4 also. So I guess 1924s.

    Actually that might be a 3, not a 4. The point is similar. I’ll do some photoshop overlays to try and figure this out

    If it makes you feel any better Tyler I found a few dateless type 1s in my youth. This was before the internet and before I knew about die pairings and diagnostics. I remember thinking I could have a 1916 in my hand but it was worthless. Of course the odds were very remote.

    It was in my brothers bulk silver bag so no loss - Just thought it would be a cool "find" since all I could decipher was the mint mark :)

    I’m seeing 24 as well. But again, not my series or denom.

    Tyler, have you examined it in-hand with 5x, 10x, and then 16 or 20x magnification?
