    Yes. Even if it wasn't it would be hard to find a buyer for a coin in that bad a condition.

    Obviously badly corroded,
    and damaged on the edges

    Metal detector find.

    No bank rolls

    Found in the ground then to a Coinstar then rolled is my guess.

  • BenitoBenito Posts: 256 ✭✭✭

    Still a quarter nothing lost

    Yes... that coin has spent a lot of time in the ground... then turned in to a bank and rolled...Or a coinstar recycle as said above...Cheers, RickO

    Take that coin, hit it hard a few times with a hammer to deform the rim.

    Spend it, and it will kick out of the sorting machines, and be returned to the mint for credit and destruction.

    If it was mine, I would just toss it in the trash.

    metal detecting find would be my guess as well

    Probably in some acidic environment (buried as others have said) that selectively etched the copper core resulting in the grooved appearance
