Well first of all I have the entire RedBook Series from 1990 to Present, I have been finding coins since about 1957 and have 4 Complete Collections of the what some people call the Indian Pennies and 3 Complete Collections of all of the Pennies from 1856 to Present, 2 Complete Collections Liberty Head Nickels, 1 Complete Collection of the Buffalo Nickels, the same in Jefferson Nickels, 2 Complete Collections of Mercury Dimes, 1 Complete Collection of Roosevelt Dimes and the list goes on, but I'm NOT A COIN Collector per say, I have NEVER PAID ANY MONEY for Coins, I just find them. Just like I found this odd looking quarter, I can accept the fact that it was probably "Damaged" after it was minted, okay, I got that but to Belittle Me that I don't know anything about coins, that's totally unacceptable. I have also been a Active Gold Miner/Prospector since 1971 (after I got out of the Military Service) and I found this coin (Quarter) recently in a creek bed on My Mining Claim in La Panza, Los Padres National Forest, San Luis Obispo County, California. I was on my way to my recent Strike, I had to cross this creek to get to my mine, which by the way is a Very Rich Strike, I'll post a few pic's here for you Pilgrims (hee,hee). And before you fellas start going off and tell me no such thing exists, I'll follow up and supply a 1972 Report from the USGS which perfectly explains the geology of this rare occurrence. So in these few pic's you'll see the MELT of the ELECTRUM on and through the Granodiorite or "DIORITE" Granite and Even the Plain Jane Diorite is also infused or disseminated into and with Gold and Silver (plus other Sulphide Minerals & Metals). Assays are in Transit, Preliminary Tests have already occurred. This might be my Lucky Quarter, hee,hee...
