    Searching a box of quarters and pulled this beautiful gem out of one of the rolls. Of course, it went right back in but I had to take some pics of it first. A001 - 20160324_151335.jpg A002 - 20160324_151344.jpg

    That looks like it was used to jump start a car.

    Only way I can tell that used to be a quarter is the remnants of the eagle on the reverse. Ouch!

    How do you jump start a car with a quarter?

    I remember using copper cents for fuse box jumpers. Talk about being old! LOL.

    No! No! No! Don't throw it back! It's a miniature replica of the moon and I can see the Sea of Tranquility. (Grind down the reverse, first!)

    Looks kind of like the pizza I ordered last night. Tasted better than it looked. :)

    I like the idea of marketing it as extreme toning... I guess it wouldn't be false advertising since toning is technically corrosion!

    Maybe include something like "LQQK!!!!1 RADIOACTIVE TONER PQ++++!!!!!1" in the listing title.
