This quarter looks fairly normal on one side and copper on the other. It's in fairly rough shape, but I would still like to know why and what happened to it. Thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

I kinda thought it might be environmental, but what do I know?

My Dad received it in change a few days ago and I told him I knew the right place and people to ask!

Homestead With Issues

I see a few issues with this coin fairly easily:

1. Snow on the roof (both sides). The picture doesn't do it justice.
2. The water pail and the pump have lumps under them.

I am assuming these are all die chips. Would I be correct?

I don't see any doubling, but I'm not sure I know what to look for other than the very obvious doubles. I have looked on doubleddie.com and don't see anything exactly like this coin. I see coins that have variations of the above, but not all or at least not all of the issues at the same time.

I love doing this! Opinions on this coin please...

Thanks!

My Most Unusual Coin

I could be wrong, but I think Mercury evaporates fairly quickly. Spilled a bunch on my class ring (many years ago). I thought I had ruined it when the Mercury coated the whole thing. Sat it on top of the fridge for a few days. Went back to check and the ring was back to normal.

Of course this was back when Mercury wasn't so dangerous to play with! Dad and I used to clean his silver coins with it. Didn't realize until the ring incident that the Mercury was simply applying a light coat to the coins.

Kim, being a newbie myself, I asked the question - "How do I know I have a proof?".

Check out the link above for lots of good info on determining if you have a proof!

Circulated Proofs - How Do I Know?

Scenario - I just received a handful of change at my local grocery / retail store.

What should I look for in my change to determine if I have a proof? Other than looking in the "US Coin Facts" section of this site (or any other site), is there an easy way to say, "this coin is a proof"? Or at the very least determine that something is different about this coin, I need to do some more research.

I am assuming my change has been circulated quite a bit and probably doesn't look the same as when it was still in the plastic case.

Can someone post a few pictures of well circulated proofs next to a regular coin? Maybe that would help.

Thanks as always!!
