I just saw the mint commercial about "numismatists" .... and a neat Proof quarter.

I think it's friggin great. I actually gave the guy at dunkin donuts $2 in his tip cup in exchange for this useless, valueless (well, .25) quarter because I was interested in the way it was toning/corroding, it's very red and junk.
I know this isn't a proof quarter. it's just proof im a dork (and am willing to throw around big money)

here's a fish to match!
I know that nobody will be able to explain the desire to own that butt-ugly quarter. Don't even try.

The bluefish is a "pity post" so the thread doesn't sink with zero replies. It's an old OF thing, kind of a way of saying "your thread sucks" but it was a good thing to receive one.
I started posting Gold Buffalos as my own brand of bluefish for a while too.
