Silver Quarter Dollar w/microchips? 1964

I recently was given this quarter as change. I was intrigued by the black marks that look like microchips?

Have any of you ever seen this before? I'm VERY new to this type of forum, so forgive my ignorance on posting rules??

Thanks in advance!

Are those black things imbedded into the coin?

 

They look like surface mount microchips - a technology that was invented decades after that quarter left the mint.

 

Yes, they are embedded. I've looked closely and I see no seam or glue? Aren't those weird?

 

It appears to me someone glued small plastic pieces to the coin because they thought it would look unusual. It does, but people do a lot of things to coins. They don't look embedded from the photos.

 

You are probably right.

I was so amazed by the chips. Here's another pic.

Sorry have to agree with Cloudsweeper on this one, from the pictures they do not look embeded but I do not have the coin in hand but it is interesting looking none the less.

 

And worth a couple bucks just for silver .

 

It looks like a nice coin too. To bad it's ruined now.

 

Not looking for a value, just the uniqueness.

But thanks
