The "32" in the date is all wrong. I agree with @Treashunt that it is probably a real silver quarter, but the date was crudely altered.
C'mon, you never, ever slip into unnecessary detail with your storytelling, @paddyman98? ;) I know I do. This ain't Dragnet. We allow for a bit...

What listing? Link?
