It's a very common coin worth only a few cents in that grade, but it IS worth more than face value, and it's a 76-year-old obsolete type, so...
The coin looks to me to be in the AU (50-58) spectrum. Note the light wear over Liberty's ear, which makes this an About Uncirculated coin, just...
Don't question it. Just go with the flow! :)
The Quarter Master does seem to have been very active since the beginning of the quarantine, as referenced in one of the counterstamps. (I got...
Update: contest is now CLOSED. Winners announced in Post #36 and subsequent. I'm giving away five more sets of my elongated coins. I will draw...
My advice to y'all? If you get a mysterious piece of mail from Quarter Notes, open it! BTW, all of the mail I send from here (Brunswick, GA)...

Neato. I was closer than I realized!
@dougsmit- what's that on the back of the Sardis coin? Looks like the prize-winning pumpkin at a county fair!
I had to have this Julia Domna. [ATTACH]
There, fixed it for you. :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I too always wondered how people know it was money versus some utilitarian bronze rings for whatever purpose. Maybe that's why it's usually...
This is not my coin (yet), though I have made a tentative offer on it. More on the grade and so on later, if I end up buying it... [ATTACH]...
