A little Silver and a Fat Quarter

[Trozell]

I was dog sitting for a while, and so spent a little time wandering the neighbors yard. I've been thru here a few times and I am always surprised to find something that did'nt show on the last trip. Today it was a silver charm and a fat quarter. The charm was showing just the top of the ring when I found it. I was happily surprised. The quarter was reading kind of possibly junk, but I decided to dig it anyway. It was kind of hard to see with the dirt on it, and I thought it might be a button. But it had no loop on the back for thread. So I rubbed it a little to clean it and saw 1788. Now I was quietly flipping out. As this would be my first really old find. I bid adieu to the dog and headed home. After washing a bit and some magnification I could see it was really a quarter, but a fat one. A 2001 NY quarter. It may not be very old but it's fat!

Quarter was in a fire. The heat blisters the layers of the clad.

Nah, George had too much of the cheesecake in New York!

I agree, extreme heat exposure.

Definietly some cool finds and the quarter will be a great conversation piece.
