I received a Silver Surfer Quarter in change today

I received a Silver Surfer Quarter in change in a grocery store on Main street in Huntington Beach, CA today. It is a little beaten up, not too bad though a couple of scuffs where the coin metal shows through the silver surfer design. I think I'll give it to Notlogical, if he wants it (Notlogical, PM me if you want it).

Great plan. After reading the title and before I read your post I was going to PM you to try to arrange to get it for Notlogical. It is very clear he will appreciate it. Excellent!!

Is that a sticker?

jhusman · September 7, 2007 11:01PM

It is pretty incredible that it has been circulating this long.

<< Is that a sticker? >>

It appears to be an enamel paint of some sort.

Without seeing one in hand my best guess is pad printing. Pad printing is an inexpensive process that is a common method of decorating smaller items. The inks used in pad printing a very durable.
