    Hey everyone I just wanted to share with you today's change because it seems very lucky!

    (Also a couple questions)

    20171009_223109.jpg
    2 bi sentenial quarters
    1 extremely odd quarter (I think might be missing a clad layer that's why (I think) it's the way it is
    1964 D nickle
    1961 cent
    1968 S cent
    1980 dime (looks awfully thin)

    You can see it better on the second picture but I think it might be missing a clad layer because it has a copper like finish under the black, that's why I think the black got there (complete wild guess) also should I give it a acetone dip?

    Thanks,

    The Quarter looks the way it does, is because it has environmental damage. They can be very neat looking but usually not worth more than a quarter. What is the weight of the dime?

    The 1988-P quarter is just discolored. Environmentally damaged, as mentioned. Spend it.

    Really, that's all just spender stuff, but the 1968-S cent is fun. That might be worth a few times face value (in other words a few cents, plural, rather than just one cent).

    Some dealer I saw somewhere was paying 28 cents for the Bicentennial quarters, as I recall. Not that it would be worth the expense of shipping them somewhere.
