RichD New Member United States 0 Posts	Posted 08/18/2012 07:41 am I found a 1973 quarter in my back yard. At first I though someone had tried to shoot through it because it had a bulge on the face, but when I looked at the other side there was no indentation. After I cleaned it up I noticed other bulges. This quarter will alson not clean up very well. It has kind of a brownish color to it. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff
