Ace182 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 10/23/2023 12:24 am My husband's grandparents have a pretty large coin collection. They both recently passed away and so the family has been trying to clear the home. We came upon a little box with two coins in it. It was odd because they were seperated from the rest of the collection. The one that stuck out was the 1982 quarter only because it looked pretty rough. The rest of their collection are all in mint condition. None of us know anything about coins so I said I would google it. I still don't see anything "special" about it other than it is alot lighter than the other quarters. Can someone PLEASE look at this and see if we are missing something? Thank you all so much! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe your husband's grandparents dug it up somewhere and kept it for sentimental reasons as a 'lucky' coin? Or, if they owned a metal detector, they could have found it with that.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15420 Posts	Posted 10/23/2023 08:29 am to the CCF Agreed, looks like a corroded quarter. Nothing special here and numismatic value is 25 cents. Perhaps the sentimental value is higher. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95758 Posts	Posted 10/23/2023 12:32 pm Nothing special about this corroded quarter unless you want to take into account that it would be the 50th anniversary of the Washington quarter initial introduction..
