Message:: [QUOTE="Sage Coin Nerd, post: 1482467, member: 38574"]I found this Minnesota quarter in my spare change jar. At first I was excited because it was a Minnesota which meant I might find that elusive "extra tree" I keep reading about. Then I looked at it and found all this weird stuff going on with it. I'm new to collecting so I'm not sure what's actually going on with this quarter and taking pictures that show what I see with my lense is hard. Here's what I've got so far-[ATTACH]187665.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]187666.vB[/ATTACH]The "blob" thing on the right side looks like some kind of resin or something. It's a clear amber color and there looks like there's melted metal in it. It's stuck to the quarter and is very hard. The quarter is also obviously misshapen.[ATTACH]187664.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]187668.vB[/ATTACH] So then I took pictures from the side. Sorry they are blurry but I think they pretty much show what I'm seeing. I'm not even sure what to say about this one.[ATTACH]187667.vB[/ATTACH]I just took this one to show the front of the quarter but you can also see the separation between the layers. Can anyone tell me what's going on with this quarter? Is it cool to anyone but me? Thanks everyone! You are all really great here![/QUOTE]
