<p>[QUOTE="Gilbert, post: 2671160, member: 73104"]As a follow up, there were about 80 dateless SLQs kept aside in a small canvas bag, that I had saved for no particular reason, other than I like SLQs. Of these only two were variety 1, and the first had a D! (bummer). At this point my wife came over to see what I was doing and noticed no dates on the coins. Sarcasm was evident until I explained about dateless 1916 SLQs, and showed her the eBay auctions that @jeffB had posted. She was a convert! Together we compared "our" specimen to that of the photo [USER=10938]@coinzip[/USER] had posted. Keeping in mind that the odds of this remaining quarter being a 1916 are less than one half of one percent, we remained hopeful. Drum roll. No match! But, for a brief moment I felt the excitement of the hunt, AND I got my wife interested in numismatics for a short period of time, which is a reward in of itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
