Welcome to the forum :) Can you post a picture of the obverse of your coin too? If not, please tell us the year and mint mark or your coin....
Thanks for the explaination.....I know I recently asked this very question in a thread ;)
makes perfect sense :) I'm not an avid (or rabid in some peoples minds) metal detectorist, but I enjoy it whenever I get the chance. Must say,...
But fun too ;)
There's a reason for you ;).....8th grade science fair project. Leave a coin in a bottle of vinegar, cola, water, report changes/differences over...
Yours may be cleaned....but is in far better shape than the one my dad took an eraser to when he was a kid ;)

Only $52.17 to go ;) Still stand by my earlier statements. Put the $8 into a savings account :p
quarters will be easy to determine....pennies you'd have to know if they are pre or post 1982 ;) www.coinfacts.com for coin specs (weight) ;)
