Haha, I know it's time to go to bed when I hear "QUARTERS QUARTERS QUARTERS" and a rant about the best numismatic value they've ever sold... I...
Oops- didn't see your location, another thought would be to do something along the lines of finding as many years of the same coin as possible,...
Maybe pick up a few rolls of quarters and have him try to get a collection of state quarters. I remember absolutely loving finding different...
Looks like it could be brass... If it is gold (presuming 22k) with a weight of 3-5 grams you're looking at 130-240$
LOL... too funny green
Thanks, leadfoot. Wow! Mods really did do a cut and splice job all over the place, the first post was a duplicate post I thought they had deleted...
Cash is king is right.... losing the ability to make a 5000$ auction purchase that you know will bring 12-15 grand because you only have 4500$ in...

It also concerns me that the person who tested it for karat came up with 16k. Was he using acid testing or an electronic tester? You wouldn't...

Gonna have to go with 63rd.
As others have said, a bit of diversity sounds great and is the way I typically go myself. The older coins "junk" silver really don't have much...
I understand your questioning, but I did have a fairly good idea of the market value. I was just curious as to how much the damage could/would...
Thanks for the replies, they truly are beautiful. edited As for the value when the coin was originally minted... a senator in those days made...
