Just don't drink it later. Not sure if lead ions in water do anything bad to coins.
I know, this was on craigslist in my area and he, at first, was asking a fairly high price, but now he has it asking for offers. I wouldn't mind...
I know I asked this once before, but don't remember any answers (senior moment). As a curiosity, what would these be worth (ballpark figures)?...

OK, we got three choices, dime, quarter and half. What is any one of these? I looked for awhile but couldn't find it, so I thought I would ask here.
OK, how thick is the cladding on clad coinage?
