I have seen one like this online only difference is mine is in better condition and the AM in America are connected. I'm working on better equipment for picture taking but this is the best I can do at moment. Report this Post to the Staff

AT214 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 11:21 pm @silverstakerkid thank you, I figured that. but maybe you can help with a question... when a quarter is red except for the design on both sides, is that rust? Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 11:22 pm Is it from the 70s? What year is it? Report this Post to the Staff
AT214 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 11:42 pm Yes, it is a 1978 D quarter. I figured it was nothing, the way my luck with error coin hunting is going, but thought I would ask. not the best pics till I get my equipment in but all the dark is red.

That is the way they kept track of the refunds for the business. Report this Post to the Staff
AT214 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 02/28/2015 01:26 am so if it is paint this should come off right? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/28/2015 01:30 am On your coin it is corrosion from being homeless for a time. I would carry it a while in your pocket and you can see it look antiqued in the lower field areas. Report this Post to the Staff
