Spence Moderator United States 34416 Posts	Posted 09/13/2020 8:22 pm Looks like this quarter has a surface texture consistent with post-mint damage. Maybe it was buried for a while?

Turbo82 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 09/13/2020 8:28 pm I'm not certain on the buried part because it was found in my pocket change but I did give it a clean with some regular hand soap and a tooth brush to see if it was rust are dirt but yet it stayed just like this when I dried it off. It has me puzzled. The weight is 5.5 grams so that's normal for sure. Report this Post to the Staff

Turbo82 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 09/15/2020 11:21 pm I understand no cleaning of the coins because it could interfere with the over all value but in my case I'm not lucky enough to come across any coins that has a high numismatic value so no worries. Now I do have a 1903 Indian head copper cent if you want me to post a picture of. Odds are that's not worth much either. Report this Post to the Staff
