I might need you to elaborate. Every coin is affected by its environment. Physics. Nothing can be fully unaffected by environment. Something about the observer effect.
Ah, I'm getting distracted again. We were talking about coffee. I've always preferred tea, personally.

Well, it is largely below the very thin clad. It took a bit of time to get an angle to show the colors. At face, it's mostly mint sheen silver with gun metal grey streaks. I don't think acetone removes either.

I should've gotten the angle with washington sapphire blue eyes and the "eyebrow piercing" &  You are all way too serious over here. I'm not selling your grandma a timeshare. Just sharing an image I thought was cool. |

I was under the impression you realized it was a West Point Mint quarter & only 2m struck w/ this particular design (somewhat rare) & wanted to preserve, possibly attempt to restore it to its former glory vs the disgusting current condition it appears to be in. Quote:

2 million doesn't seem that rare.

Considering most modern day quarters have mintages in the hundreds of millions, to reiterate .... 2m is (somewhat rare). Quote:

Hmmm.. that's interesting. Glad I didn't put it in the tables at the pool hall.

Guess I should probably take it down and give it to the local coin shop. They might have more appreciation.

Congrats on finding a quarter you like and it mintage is low which makes it desirable to folks collecting these W quarters. FWIW- on ebay, an unblemished quarter like yours sells for around $10. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
