 It's only 4.7 gr, and you can see how there wasn't enough metal on the planchet to fill in the details! Not even enough to make the rim get a rise! Any entrepreneurs want to send me $50 so I can send it in and then get gazillions on sleezeebay? You'd get 20% commission! Wow, Must see! L@@KEE!

I actually think that it was struck on the extremely rare sponge nickel planchets. The mint was originally going to use a porous nickel planchet to save money. Much less metal therefore less in production cost. It was determined that the original density of the metal would not take up a very good striking. Therefore the mint only produced only a handful of these rare and very desirable coins. This may very well be the first one ever found in circulation. If you are going to come up with a fantasy story then make it exceptional.

Still Lookin is mostly right. The story goes, if you soak it in a cup of water overnight you'll have a quarter in the morning.
