ksmcents Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 02/16/2013 04:21 am I came across this interesting 1983-D Quarter today. Thoughts? Please discuss and educate me on the possibilities. Fake? I don't know why anyone would, but I freely admit I don't know alot of things. Hopefully these pictures are decent enough. It's nearly the width of 2 regular quarters placed together...accurately I'd say 1.5x. The copper edge is smooth around the entire coin. There is nothing on the coin, the date and reverse have copper showing through the rim. Smaller than a regular quarter (not by much) and lighter. Pictures I hope speak for themselves. Any help and discussion is greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

ksmcents Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 02/16/2013 05:31 am Thanks John! I've never seen one oddly enough. A quick search of "dryer" and Jolla 415 results! Got a good laugh at myself that I spent way too much time on Google searching for errors, quite the crash education though, interesting what's out there. Thanks again for the reply.

Pronounced: vwala Viola: Used to call attention to or express satisfaction with a thing shown or accomplished. We Americans love to change French words we can't pronounce. Another good one comes from a French army officer (circa 1849) Claude-Etienne Minié who invented a bullet that bears his name. The bullets are supposed to be pronounced like his last name: 'Minnay Ball' but we say 'Minnie (or mini) Ball.' Report this Post to the Staff
