biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 01/24/2012 10:49 am Weren't those shrunken quarters made by zapping them with high amps of energy? Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 01/26/2012 3:42 pm Very interesting quarter. How much did you pay for it? That could win the ugly coin of the year award. There are people that put sets of ugly coins together too, so it could be quite valuable to some people. Report this Post to the Staff
