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

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!

The cross item looks like the framework for a set of scales.

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.
