Post a quarter... any sort of a US quarter (dollar).

I'm feeling in the mood for some quarters, so post one from any US series. Here's one I got in the last month that floats my boat. Nothing particularly sexy as far as toning, just a nice attractive look to it...

The one that started my adiction back in 1963...it was a nice XF before 40 years as a pocket piece.

My oldest Quarter

My 4th Oldest Quarter. I also have a 1914 D I won on Ebay last week and a 1943 that is in similar condition to the 44.

While we are on the topic of quarters-I was telling my mom that on the 1916 Quarter Liberty is partially nude-she doesn't believe me. Does anyone have a shot of that particular version that shows that she was indeed not wearing all her clothes?

Boy, too many excellent quarters to just pick out a couple. Great stuff, folks!

Billy, here ya' go. This one was cleaned at some point in time, sorry about that.

Here's something that's in a little better condition...

The OP said "quarter" not 25 cents (although we can let you slide because they are so nice and busts to boot!)

But of course the quality control was a little loose...

As stated by Stone, it is HOUCKS PANACEA , the famous "snake medicine" of it's day. Here is a little more background from an article I published in the John Reich Journal for December 2006 (Vol. 17/3 pg. 28).

HOUCKS / PANACEA / BALTIMORE

The coins found with this countermark are one of the most popular and sought after counterstamps, as they are part of the “Hard Times” token series and are generally found on Bust Half Dollars.

Dr. Jacob Houck came to Baltimore Maryland in 1828 and opened a dry goods business at 121 West Baltimore St. It wasn’t until 1834 that he began selling “Botanic Panacea” for $1.50 a bottle and advertised in the 1835 to 1842 business directories.

Proported to cure almost all ills including: Dyspepsin, loss of appetite, indigestion, inflamation of the stomach, heartburn, diarrhea, dysentory or flux, piles, fistola, obstructed monstruation, ague and fever, bilious or remittent fever, typhus fever, scarlet fever, small pox, St. Anthoney's fire, asthma, pleurisy, measeles, yellow fever, wind on the stomach or bowels, cholera morbus, consuption, influenza, colds, coughs, inflammation of the chest, palsy, gout, rheumatism, whooping cough, croup, dropsy, rickets, diseases of the liver, jaundice, difficulty of making urine, hysterics, mercurial and venereal diseases, ulcers, sores, etc. (The main ingredients were most likely alcohol or opium, cocaine or some such other "cure")

This Panacea was sold at various business address locations including 16 Hanover St. (which was listed in a full page ad in Matchett’s Baltimore Director in 1842) up until the 1850’s. Henry T. Houck became proprietor of the firm in 1851 and in later years probably licensed it for others to sell, as there is an 1855 advertisement in a Nashville Tennessee directory by a A.G. Goodlet for “Houck’s Improved Panacea & Goodlet’s Vegetable Lineament” listed at No. 29 1/2 Cherry St. Nashville Tennessee.

And here is an original bottle that the elixer was sold in...
