I have a 74 dark brown querter I've never seen one like it,although I no next to nothing about coins.is there a easy way to see if it' special. I'll include photos if I can figure it out thanks.
What you have is a Quarter with Environmental Damage It was exposed to Dirt or Soil... I Metal detect and have found hundreds of brown Quarters such as yours
Thanks so much for the info,can' win em all,looks to good to be true,usually is.I will keep on looking and dream n just mite find a keeper.thanks to all who gave there 2cents.
For a challenge try to fill nickel and clad Whitman albums with your dug coins. I've been working on mine since 1960 and the only ones I have completed are the first Jefferson book and Roosevelt dimes. Missing the key dates for cents, buffalos and mercuries. Livens up a pouch full of spenders.
Mite take me a tad bit longer.I don't know if I've ever seen a coin like these befor,I think I would of remembered one never got into metal detecting,always been interested in it but I assumed the right equipment could be expensive.i sure thought that I had something goes to show can' t put a value on experience once again thanks for the info.To me it looks like the silver is gone viewed with a glass I can see little silver particles stuck on the coin,by the way would you know what exactly would cause that,must be a helluva chem process amazing stuff. Again much appreciated you have good day.
I'e often thought about getting into detecting but never did,my wife found this coin on the ground and I thought it was worth something and came across this site so I posted it and here we are.so I'm ignorant in this area,I thought we had something to me it looks exactly like the pictures I pulled up on line lol I was already spending the money.the chemical process interests me.with a glass it looks to me like the silver is gone but particles of silver are left in places.amazing to me. Any way thanks I hope I didn' affened anybody.good day.
