Holy Corrosion, Batman!!!

Searching a box of quarters and pulled this beautiful gem out of one of the rolls. Of course, it went right back in but I had to take some pics of it first.

That looks like it was used to jump start a car.

 

Only way I can tell that used to be a quarter is the remnants of the eagle on the reverse. Ouch!

 

How do you jump start a car with a quarter?

 

LOL. You literalist you!!!

 

I'm going to be linking this in my new ugliest coins thread.

 

I remember using copper cents for fuse box jumpers. Talk about being old! LOL.

No! No! No! Don't throw it back! It's a miniature replica of the moon and I can see the Sea of Tranquility. (Grind down the reverse, first!)

I can think of more than a few Ebay sellers who would put that up for auction with MONSTER TONING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Beautiful sand patina for ancient coinists.

 

Just cleaned my wash machines trap and found 3 of these ugly things about a month ago

 

Looks kind of like the pizza I ordered last night. Tasted better than it looked.

 

I like the idea of marketing it as extreme toning... I guess it wouldn't be false advertising since toning is technically corrosion!

Maybe include something like "LQQK!!!!1 RADIOACTIVE TONER PQ++++!!!!!1" in the listing title.

 

Oh, corrosion gods, here we go again. Going through another box of quarters and came across this lovely one.
