Silver is silver they say, that's what counts.
The cross tree item wondering about that, any ideas?
 

Nice finds. Your Quarter was probably real close to a fire, like a bonfire.
 

looks like the quarter was slowly brought to the melting point. Probably from burning trash

Not sure, reminds me of a paperweight for a desk but the wings things are flimsy and seem like there was more to them. May just never know!

cool finds, I have a similar quarter and always wondered what happened to it. Hope you like that Legend as much as I dig mine.

Great finds - congrats !

It's up to you but ...
I've straitened out several Sliver coins that were curled up like yours in between two pieces of wood and hit with a hammer or put them in a Vise.
