Soak it in acetone. Contrary to what many well tell you, acetone will not affect the current state of your coin in a negative way!

There is a special bank in Houston I take these coins to, they send them back to be destroyed. When a face value coin has been the ground it turns it back to it's natural copper state and no one wants a copper quarter. John I do think you are right about the lawn mower, it was in a ball when I found it.

This is one weeks work so far, I have one more big hunt down at Bay City, and Matagorda Bay and Friday they go to the bank. I'm guessing theirs around sixty plus dollars there.  |

Oh the irony... a quarter with a 'quarter' of the coin missing.

I saw one of these last week. I didn't know it was a variety or I would have kept it. Darn the luck. Who knew a 1980 quarter that had a planchet sheet corner fold over clip error with authentic John Deere influence and genuine mystery blood stain would be worth something? I believe the badly botched lobotomy that poor George suffered symbolizes the crime committed. the clipping of the eagles wing on the reverse is apparently a symbol that the birds should stay where they are and fly in circles.

I can clearly see the image of the Virgin Mary on the reverse and that of Jesus Christ on the obverse.

On a serious note, have you found any dollar coins in that mountain of change?

The 1924 was extremely tarnished and has been cleaned.  The 2007 is on top of the pile of change.  |
