Modwriter Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Roll up your coins and bring them to your bank for face value or take them to a Coinstar and exchange them for a gift card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Nub numismatics Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Rolling them up is the best option unless you frequently use Amazon. If you go to a coin star, they'll take 10% unless you choose the gift card option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbbpll Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Perhaps the OP thinks their quarter is an experimental alloy. (They contained manganese, not magnesium, as far as I can determine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modwriter Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 From Wikipedia: Manganese (Some Mn used in US wartime "silver nickels" and the new US dollar coin for similar reasons – attempts to match magnetic and electrical properties of previous nickels, and previous Susan B. Anthony dollars, for vending machines) Magnesium (Magnesium-aluminum coins were issued in 1943 for the Łódź (Litzmannstadt) Ghetto in Poland, and are used in India) The OP quarter is not magnesium.

Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted July 27, 2020 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted July 27, 2020 It looks as though it may be one of the countless coins that have been giving an extremely thin gold plating to be sold as novelties. A fair number have been returned to circulation when their purchases realize that they have no premium value. Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
