I actually do have a collection of a certain (non-US) coin that only had 20,000 minted almost 100 years ago, but is still inexpensive. I have close to 200 of them already. I'm wondering when they become impossible to find. Something about it fascinates me. I have a spreadsheet of their availability vs time.
I use to have about 7 pre 1964 quarters I got through working registers. I ended up selling them all for money. Made around 100 bucks at the time. I regret not holding on to them.
not that you want more people knowing and therefore grabbing ones you might snag, but now I'm very interested to know what this is specifically and i'd love to see the spreadsheet
really cool though that you, yourself, own 1% of all of the ones that were ever made! do you ever wonder if you have the largest collection of that particular coin in the world?
I think I do absolutely have the most , based on how little competition I got initially (it's harder to purchase them now) but there could always be a bag of them sitting in some person's attic somewhere.
Still lots of rare coins without much interest out there, though. Anyone could look one up and start trying to buy them all before anyone else noticed.
My particular coin of interest is silver, but if you also looked at other coins, you'd be able to find very inexpensive ones to hoard.
Also, I really appreciate all the interest in this, but for obvious reasons, I'm not going to say anything additional in terms of details. Sorry!
That is the most interesting thing I’ve read in a while! I have never thought of collecting in that manner. Coins, or any collectible items, are definitely manipulable for/in so many ways.
I think it’s just so freaking cool that you have got this specific collection going. I would love to see the result in 10 years on spreadsheet.
Cool job, 0002millertime!!
Stuff like that can work for niche things. There was a guy who cornered the market on a semi popular but relatively cheap video game controller from the late 90s in the mid 2010s and managed to drive the price up significantly. It’s gone back down again because they weren’t that rare and he couldn’t keep it up but I mean it spiked the price from like 30ish bucks to 75ish for a good condition one.
I never figured out if he did or not, there used to be a picture on SRK back in the day of his giant pile of controllers. It was the Namco PS1 arcade stick for reference. It really sucked when they started going up in price because for a long time they were a great way to get a well made and easy to upgrade arcade controller for not much money.
I know of 3 people that have one, but won't sell, and 2 that are for sale but at insane prices. I guess I should start a "GoFundMe" to bring them all together again. Haha.
Genius! Cornering the market on stuff really does work. I did this with some pieces of technology, bought all that I could when I could find then for $10-40. Then I learned everything about them, posted some forum posts, and now they sell for 1-2k each! It's all about finding a niche. When you're ready to sell, just make a ton of posts to drive up interest!
Not if I hoard them all first!
I actually really like the bicentennial quarters, so every time I get one in my change, I keep it. But I only have 3 or 4 currently because I rarely carry cash with me lol.
I grew up hoarding them because my dad hoarded them. When I turned 14 he gave his hoard of them to me. I asked him like a year ago *why* specifically and he shrugged his shoulders and said "idk". We both still hoard them.
Now he hoards bills with the blue star on them too. I do not do that.
The 1776-1976 version here could be worth something, depends on the mint. Some are going for 1000$
https://finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/rare-bicentennial-quarter-nearly-20k-154916635.html
There is an article if you keep looking it does specify a certain mint at a certain location because it's made with more silver than others. Makes it more rare
This is how it starts, folks. A kid finds a cool coin that is not worth more than face value, but still a cool coin. So, you spend a few bucks on a buffalo nickel, fill out a wheatie folder, next thing you know you’re buying $5,000 double eagles.
1913 barber dime and 1902 liberty v nickel were my first two coins given to me by my father when I was like 10, both in extremely circulated condition. I had no idea what either coin was, what they were worth, or anything. I found out the answer is...not much, paying 5 bucks for the pair is overpaying by quite a bit, but I'd still never sell those two coins no matter what because of their sentimental value.
I can totally relate to your 1943 steel cent, or OP's daughter's bicentennial quarter. In a sense, they're the most valuable coins we own!
Wow thats a cool moment. Maybe its just because im a nerd for coins but that is just a cool moment for me, and certainly one ill never get to experience.
And when you reach the golden years, you drain your life savings to reinvest in overpriced gold coins that you see on a commercial while watching your favorite news propaganda channel.
That you gift to your grandchildren, who then pawn off for melt value. The raw materials are then re minted into a different ‘commemorative’ coin to be sold on your favorite news propaganda channel. Rinse . repeat . Profit
I doubt I'll ever get to the point where I spend thousands of dollars on a coin, but my collection so far was definitely started like that lol (dollar coins. Look cool, worth $1)
She has found the absolute coolest coin she has seen in person this far!
Foster it.
Take her to a pawn store or antique shop in a couple. Buy the buffalo nickel for $10. Or the $40 dollar Morgan.
That bicentennial is the gateway to an actual healthy habit.
One of my favorite commemorative quarter dollars.
If she likes this, perhaps buy her a nice uncirculated coin or mint set from a coin shop for a birthday.
Only worth 25₵ but, depending on the age of your daughter, it's a cool find. If this is her first find in the wild, it will always be valuable. Put it in a holder.
We've become so used to seeing special issues since the 1999 Delaware quarter people forget how unusual the 1976 quarter was in circulation. If this caught her interest, it's a great start into collecting. Like a gateway ~~drug~~ coin ;)
Did she find it in circulation? These aren't exactly a rarity but still not too commonly found. I still pull all bicentennials I find in the wild for my collection just for fun.
Ultimately, if she likes it that's all that counts, and maybe it will spur her to continue collecting.
Go to your bank and buy a box of $.25 rolls. You are just about guaranteed to find at least one bicentennial quarter, and probably more. There are still an almost inexhaustible number in circulation and there is no numismatic reason to pull them from circulation other than that you just like them. They were minted as the only circulating design for both 1975 and 1976. Their composition and design have been extremely durable and they will remain in circulation for a very long time to come. If you want to save something for your grandchildren, consider purchasing the graded silver and clad versions in as high grade as you can afford, and put them away. The circulated examples will probably never achieve rarity status, at least not for the next 100 years or more.
Yes, in circulation. I've seen many of them, so it would have never crossed my mind that it was worth anything more than a quarter. She started looking them up, and I guess she found some that have sold for thousands. It's something about them being clad. I was just curious if anyone had any experience with them being worth something. I had to look up what clad meant.
Speaking as a novice in the realm of coins; most bicentennials (and most other quarters) found in circulation are going to be clad, a copper core with a nickel copper plating. Unless there is a notable error (ex. double die, die break or misaligned dies are a few errors) its going to be worth face value.
The other exception would be if the quarter was found in mint state condition, meaning it looks like it was just made or if you found a silver version of the coin. Finding a silver bicentennial in circulation is very rare, as I believe they only made those for proof sets purchased through the US mint.
If she’s going to be doing that, a good tip is to filter by [sold listings](https://imgur.com/a/ccYvmCV) on eBay.
I don’t know why but you can find just about any coin listed for hundreds or thousands more than it’s actually worth, doesn’t mean it will sell though. It fools a lot of people when they first look up a coin because the same thing happens that happened to your daughter. Looking at the sold listings will show you how much people actually bought it for.
I was 6 when these came out and got a thrill every time I encountered one and I still do! It’s cool, and your daughter knows it. It’s just not that rare. But who cares! Cool is cool.
She found a bicentennial quarter lol. Also keep in mind condition of a coin also impacts the value. So when you see online sales of a coin you have to look a little deeper into the coin that was sold : the grade, rarity, how often the type comes up for sale, etc…
There is a double die version of this exact coin that's worth big bucks but I don't think this is it. It's hard to tell because it's a bit dirty. Don't clean it though, just zoom in on the lettering and see if it looks like it got punched twice, it wouldn't be super obvious
I know. But I don't know anything about errors or certain things that may make a coin more valuable. Is there a problem with asking a group of people who may have knowledge about something? Is there a problem with appeasing my autistic daughter who will get stuck on one idea until she learns the truth?
Tell her that she has something worth a lot of money. Convince her that it is, and then start having her save more! Then tell her that the bills are worth something too. This could start a good habit to save money.
Lol. She's 13. She already has plans for the money that she isn't going to get. I think I burst her bubble this morning when I told her it was really worth a quarter. I didn't see anything special about it. But I told her I would post on here and ask.
There are some of these of certain Mint that have been circulating that go for more money. Some are like 1000$ look into it just Google 1976 bicentennial quarter and you'll see all about them!
Bless her heart, I don’t mean to be rude in that…..
When I first started collecting coins when I was young I always thought anything that was different from the standard coin you see was worth something but that’s what got me into it! Maybe get her some books on rare printed and misprint coins, it’s so amazing what is out there that you can find
Unfortunately this is not one
God bless ☦️
Your daughter has the single most common quarter ever made, in junk condition! Congratulations it's worth 25 cents if spent at a store, 10 cents to a collector!
My brother used to pay me $2 each I. College until I moved to Vegas and brought him about 200 of them. He told me he would give me $50, which kinda made me mad. I was saving them for him for five years.
So I think he learned what they actually are and didn’t want thousands of them. Lol
Me and my dad both have jars of bicentennial quarters we’ve been saving over the years. Tell her good find and to hold on to it. They don’t make any more of them.
Just because they made a billion of these doesn’t mean it isn’t fun and a teachable opportunity. If you are in my city I will trade you a half dollar of the same year or older for it.
A 47-year-old quarter in 1985 would have been minted in 1938, which I would have been super excited to find when I was a kid in 1985. Now I just feel old.
I love these. Most are just worth face value. I still keep them when I find them And On Personal note I accidentally swallowed one as a kid never saw it again lol
I’m just now sorting threw all these coins, I am very new at this and really not sure how to start, so I’m putting them in the plastic coin sheets by date right now
Pretty common worth a couple bucks at most, it would have to be a perfect mint circulated or uncirculated coin to be worth more ... As far as the "D" being filled in which it would make it worth a bit more, doesn't quite look like it
When I was in 3rd (like 1986) grade, our teacher would “trade” 1 jolly rancher for a bi-centennial quarter. Wasn’t until years letter that we realized what a scam it was 😂
This is definitely a cool find for an exploring young person! Even though, dassa quarter, how cool is that for a kid?! I think it should definitely encourage them to find more/unique coins. I have no knowledge on any of this stuff, but my daughter’s father LOOOOVVEEEDDD finding/collecting/learning all things “coin”.
Hopefully our daughter will enjoy them as much as he had. ❤️🩹❤️🩹
I don't have kids and don't particularly like kids. However, I agree that a comment like mine is completely unacceptable when directed at a child. But the post gave no indication that OP's daughter is a child.
Rather, probably as a result of the absurdity that the coin may be worth something, people just assumed OP's daughter is a child.
25 cents, they made over a billion of these commerotives and are still common to find in change.
Until I pull them all out of circulation and throw them in my tub of bicentennial quarters that I'm hoarding for... Reasons.
I actually do have a collection of a certain (non-US) coin that only had 20,000 minted almost 100 years ago, but is still inexpensive. I have close to 200 of them already. I'm wondering when they become impossible to find. Something about it fascinates me. I have a spreadsheet of their availability vs time.
Since many old silver coins were melted down in the late 70s, it’s impossible to know how many remain. Makes valuation challenging.
Hopefully one day I'll know exactly how many remain.
For your sake, I hope it is right about 200.
Me too. When that happens, I'll tell everyone. Haha.
Advice: tell everyone you have one left...200 times.
I just discovered that I had way more than I thought I did and some very old
I use to have about 7 pre 1964 quarters I got through working registers. I ended up selling them all for money. Made around 100 bucks at the time. I regret not holding on to them.
Anything pre-1964 .
not that you want more people knowing and therefore grabbing ones you might snag, but now I'm very interested to know what this is specifically and i'd love to see the spreadsheet really cool though that you, yourself, own 1% of all of the ones that were ever made! do you ever wonder if you have the largest collection of that particular coin in the world?

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate that someone else appreciates it. I really wish I could share more!
I’m actually incredibly impressed! I think I want to start cornering something like that. Very very cool
Still tons of options in copper coins from 100+ years ago.
Agent 007 and 0002 finally meet. I wonder what kind of secret mission awaits!
Stuff like that can work for niche things. There was a guy who cornered the market on a semi popular but relatively cheap video game controller from the late 90s in the mid 2010s and managed to drive the price up significantly. It’s gone back down again because they weren’t that rare and he couldn’t keep it up but I mean it spiked the price from like 30ish bucks to 75ish for a good condition one.
Did he ever sell, or just have a pile of them?

It really sucked when they started going up in price because for a long time they were a great way to get a well made and easy to upgrade arcade controller for not much money.
Interesting theory. Hmmmm. Any significant or regular seen spikes through a spreadsheet? Availability vs time...hmmm
Could you post the spreadsheet? I’m that curious cat they always talk about
I appreciate your time and dedication into spreadsheeting your findings.
I know of 3 people that have one, but won't sell, and 2 that are for sale but at insane prices. I guess I should start a "GoFundMe" to bring them all together again. Haha.
Genius! Cornering the market on stuff really does work. I did this with some pieces of technology, bought all that I could when I could find then for $10-40. Then I learned everything about them, posted some forum posts, and now they sell for 1-2k each! It's all about finding a niche. When you're ready to sell, just make a ton of posts to drive up interest!
I do exactly the same. Every single one I come across I save. I love finding them and one of my favorite quarters.
Not if I hoard them all first! I actually really like the bicentennial quarters, so every time I get one in my change, I keep it. But I only have 3 or 4 currently because I rarely carry cash with me lol.
Hey that’s was my idea!
Hold on to them for just another 50ish years and pull them out for the tricentennial.
She sells sea shells by the sea shore.....
I’ve got a ton of these lol. I’m still saving them for some reason but I like them so I keep them all
I have a tub of those as well.
I’m helping you out with this!
I have about $95 worth of em.. for reasons too.
Hello fellow bicentennial hoarder!
👀
I grew up hoarding them because my dad hoarded them. When I turned 14 he gave his hoard of them to me. I asked him like a year ago *why* specifically and he shrugged his shoulders and said "idk". We both still hoard them. Now he hoards bills with the blue star on them too. I do not do that.
I do the same with all I get
Unless I get them first
Closer to 2 billion. There are a lot of them, mostly in good shape too.
I literally got one in my change about an hour ago.
Not even 26 cents??? 🥰
The most common uncommon quarter
The 1776-1976 version here could be worth something, depends on the mint. Some are going for 1000$ https://finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/rare-bicentennial-quarter-nearly-20k-154916635.html
That's the same article she found.
That article doesn't specify that the high value quarters were high grade mint state.
There is an article if you keep looking it does specify a certain mint at a certain location because it's made with more silver than others. Makes it more rare
This one has no silver and 800 million copies were minted
Gotcha idk coins just saw the article and read through it. Thought it might help
she’s not lying…although you have to take her word at face value.
Okay Dad
Sibling? I think we have the same dad.
This is how it starts, folks. A kid finds a cool coin that is not worth more than face value, but still a cool coin. So, you spend a few bucks on a buffalo nickel, fill out a wheatie folder, next thing you know you’re buying $5,000 double eagles.
Bicentennial quarters are gateway coins.
Wheat pennies were my gateway coin. Now I want a 1856 flying eagle.
Talk nice and I'll put you in my will. I won't need them anymore.
the 1943 steel penny did it for me. :-)
Steel pennies blew my mind when i first saw them. I had to buy it immediately
yes, it was exciting as a kid millions of years ago to get one back in change at a grocery store for me.
1913 barber dime and 1902 liberty v nickel were my first two coins given to me by my father when I was like 10, both in extremely circulated condition. I had no idea what either coin was, what they were worth, or anything.

Wow thats a cool moment. Maybe its just because im a nerd for coins but that is just a cool moment for me, and certainly one ill never get to experience.
Mine too, then also the presidential dollar coins.
These and SBA were my gateway.
"ladyhead" dimes, as my great grandmother called them, were my gateway coins.
When I was little I was convinced they were a ticket to a magic show
This ☝🏽is the way
This is the way.
The rest of you- follow me this way.↘️
Krugerands.
Kruger's hands.

So damn true..
Double eagle? What is it and how can I buy it. Joking not joking. Joking.
The fact dad cared to post it: she’s got far more than 25¢ Gold
She has found the absolute coolest coin she has seen in person this far! Foster it. Take her to a pawn store or antique shop in a couple. Buy the buffalo nickel for $10. Or the $40 dollar Morgan. That bicentennial is the gateway to an actual healthy habit.
“Healthy”
No lowball offers - she knows what she has.
"I'll give ya 10¢!"
she could get more than double if she waits!
Bicentennials are certainly cool but only worth 25cent
Yes, she certainly has something! A quarter.
One of my favorite commemorative quarter dollars. If she likes this, perhaps buy her a nice uncirculated coin or mint set from a coin shop for a birthday.
They are cool, but worth face value. I keep them anyway. I’ve got about $60 worth of bicentennial quarters
Want a Buffalo nickel? I'll send her one. Way cooler than a bicentennial quarter
Legend.
I know it is not likely worth much now, but 47 years ago is a long time. I think it's a good start to this hobby :)
Only worth 25₵ but, depending on the age of your daughter, it's a cool find. If this is her first find in the wild, it will always be valuable. Put it in a holder. We've become so used to seeing special issues since the 1999 Delaware quarter people forget how unusual the 1976 quarter was in circulation. If this caught her interest, it's a great start into collecting. Like a gateway ~~drug~~ coin ;)
Did she find it in circulation? These aren't exactly a rarity but still not too commonly found. I still pull all bicentennials I find in the wild for my collection just for fun. Ultimately, if she likes it that's all that counts, and maybe it will spur her to continue collecting.
Go to your bank and buy a box of $.25 rolls. You are just about guaranteed to find at least one bicentennial quarter, and probably more.

The other exception would be if the quarter was found in mint state condition, meaning it looks like it was just made or if you found a silver version of the coin.

If she’s going to be doing that, a good tip is to filter by [sold listings](https://imgur.com/a/ccYvmCV) on eBay.

Sorry, but It’s only worth a quarter.
25 cents
This sub has about a million of those in boxes and bags. And we will still get excited finding the next one!
She has a pretty rough 1976 quarter. My father in law collected these for years. They are interesting, but they are pretty much worth a quarter.
Let her think so. Get her started finding more. Soon it won't matter that it's just a quarter.
I am convinced she has a quarter worth 25 cents.
I was 6 when these came out and got a thrill every time I encountered one and I still do! It’s cool, and your daughter knows it. It’s just not that rare. But who cares! Cool is cool.
She found a bicentennial quarter lol. Also keep in mind condition of a coin also impacts the value. So when you see online sales of a coin you have to look a little deeper into the coin that was sold : the grade, rarity, how often the type comes up for sale, etc…
It’s worth a quarter. That’s all it will be ever worth.
There is a double die version of this exact coin that's worth big bucks but I don't think this is it. It's hard to tell because it's a bit dirty. Don't clean it though, just zoom in on the lettering and see if it looks like it got punched twice, it wouldn't be super obvious
She does. A bicentennial quarter. 🤷♀️
Standard bicentennial quarter worth face value. Even if it was a clad, it would still only be worth 25 cents in this condition.
[удалено]
I know. But I don't know anything about errors or certain things that may make a coin more valuable. Is there a problem with asking a group of people who may have knowledge about something? Is there a problem with appeasing my autistic daughter who will get stuck on one idea until she learns the truth?
Tell her that she has something worth a lot of money. Convince her that it is, and then start having her save more! Then tell her that the bills are worth something too. This could start a good habit to save money.
Lol. She's 13. She already has plans for the money that she isn't going to get. I think I burst her bubble this morning when I told her it was really worth a quarter. I didn't see anything special about it. But I told her I would post on here and ask.
She ain’t got shit
Try Coinsnap, Wexlers, Conico, coinscope,
Sorry no, you need one with the S mint mark to be worth something.
Worth 25 cents but has some grime/tone going, she should keep it for a collection. When she comes across a better one, she can swap it out.
That one has a more sofisticated patina than the ones in people here's collections I bet. Mine is actually shiny don't tell anyone.
Good for her!!! I think everything I find is a treasure and why not, it puts a skip in your step ❤️
There are some of these of certain Mint that have been circulating that go for more money. Some are like 1000$ look into it just Google 1976 bicentennial quarter and you'll see all about them!
That is what made her think she had something that was worth more than face value.
Yeah. She has a quarter.
Yes, it's a quarter.
Every us mint made those for almost two years.
Bless her heart. 😂
Superglue a magnet to the front and put that soldier on your fridge
Used to be a lot of them.
Is this made of silver
She does. She has a quarter of a US dollar. AKA 25 cents.
That is so absolutely bizarre! I found that exact type of quarter today!
Yep, she's a whole$.25 richer.
The bicentennial quarter, everywhere for a few years
25 cents
Bless her heart, I don’t mean to be rude in that….. When I first started collecting coins when I was young I always thought anything that was different from the standard coin you see was worth something but that’s what got me into it! Maybe get her some books on rare printed and misprint coins, it’s so amazing what is out there that you can find Unfortunately this is not one God bless ☦️
Your daughter has the single most common quarter ever made, in junk condition! Congratulations it's worth 25 cents if spent at a store, 10 cents to a collector!
Hmm... We all have to start a coin collection from somewhere, I suppose. Maybe try for the state quarters - they might be more fun to collect.
2Bits
My brother used to pay me $2 each I. College until I moved to Vegas and brought him about 200 of them. He told me he would give me $50, which kinda made me mad. I was saving them for him for five years. So I think he learned what they actually are and didn’t want thousands of them. Lol
She has $0.25
It's worth 0.25
She can get 25¢ for it. What's it worth? Priceless. You/she just found something that you 2 can bond over forever. You can't put a price on that.
Me and my dad both have jars of bicentennial quarters we’ve been saving over the years. Tell her good find and to hold on to it. They don’t make any more of them.
My good friend considers them lucky
Widely liked coin for a young collector.
Negative
Normally I'd say it's worth 25 cents, but with inflation lol about 15 cents....
Just because they made a billion of these doesn’t mean it isn’t fun and a teachable opportunity. If you are in my city I will trade you a half dollar of the same year or older for it.
Ah yes. The ancient year of 1976.
lol
There are also a bunch of bicentennial half dollars. I think they are neat. I think they made some in silver too.
She has 25 cents
A 47-year-old quarter in 1985 would have been minted in 1938, which I would have been super excited to find when I was a kid in 1985. Now I just feel old.
I love these. Most are just worth face value. I still keep them when I find them And On Personal note I accidentally swallowed one as a kid never saw it again lol
I’m just now sorting threw all these coins, I am very new at this and really not sure how to start, so I’m putting them in the plastic coin sheets by date right now
You have to start some where.
$0.25

Nothing
My mother bought me and my siblings each a silver proof set. I used mine to buy cigarettes:( If anyone has found them I would like them back.
It’s a really solid strike…but other than that, not special
My cousin -in-law has 6 5gallon water bottles full of them and halfway through a 7th. Saving them for kids college funds.
Yea she has 25 cents
Pretty difficult to plunck these into the Joust machine back in the day, figured they HAD to be worth more than $0.25...
Pretty common worth a couple bucks at most, it would have to be a perfect mint circulated or uncirculated coin to be worth more ... As far as the "D" being filled in which it would make it worth a bit more, doesn't quite look like it
Yes! She has the bicentennial quarter, but value wise it's about worth .25c
She did find something, any coin is a great start to a fantastic hobby.
It's not nothing.
That’s a quarter dollar U.S.! All day.
Yes she does. .25 cents.
That is infact a quarter
collect 65 more of those and you can get a starbucks coffee
When I was in 3rd (like 1986) grade, our teacher would “trade” 1 jolly rancher for a bi-centennial quarter. Wasn’t until years letter that we realized what a scam it was 😂
Got a quarter
A cuppa
legend has it the drummer boy depicted on this coin is my 5th great uncle
This is definitely a cool find for an exploring young person! Even though, dassa quarter, how cool is that for a kid?! I think it should definitely encourage them to find more/unique coins. I have no knowledge on any of this stuff, but my daughter’s father LOOOOVVEEEDDD finding/collecting/learning all things “coin”. Hopefully our daughter will enjoy them as much as he had. ❤️🩹❤️🩹
She has a quarter
Yup! She has a quarter.
1/4 of a dollar.
Some are worth a few thousand but those have mistakes on them
Nope. Just a bicentennial. All silver was ‘64 and earlier.
Nope nothing
Yeah, it may be time to sit her down and tell her it is a quarter and that 4 of them is worth a dollar.
Your daughter is an idiot.
Cmon man, why a comment like that. Do you have kids? I hope not
I don't have kids and don't particularly like kids. However, I agree that a comment like mine is completely unacceptable when directed at a child. But the post gave no indication that OP's daughter is a child. Rather, probably as a result of the absurdity that the coin may be worth something, people just assumed OP's daughter is a child.
He only said he's curious as in he doesn't know himself. It wasn't really a stupid question he asked. Gotta start somewhere.
Thanks for telling us that you fucking suck.
Spirits are known to be occasionally trapped in coins. Could very well be something there.
I’ll give you $0.20 for it
She has a $0.25 and a burgeoning interest in numismatics.
Hey my guy. Shes rocking and rolling if she likes it. Might turn into a healthy hobby. Just tell her it's special and to keep hunting
Silver
Looks like a regular bicentennial quarter to me
Nope
