mentalcash New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/15/2011 5:19 pm I have attached a photo of a 1977 Quarter with what appears to be (to this novice)bubbles on the surface. The photo may not be the greatest but I would sure appreciate anyone willing to take a look and give me some feedback. Thanks, mentalcash Report this Post to the Staff

mentalcash New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/15/2011 10:25 pm Thanks you to those who replied. I apologize for the photo. I " inherited" tons coins and just floundering around trying to sort out the madness with no experience or professional experience at posting. I do appreciate any help members give me. metalcash Report this Post to the Staff
