Displaced Texan 11,652 Posted October 7, 2021 As a part of getting ready to move, I cashed in the 55 gallon drum (ok, actually a 1/3 full 5 gallon water bottle) of change today. I had one ‘outlier’ that was rejected. Easier to post a pic…has anyone seen one of these? What do I have here?? Yep, it’s obvious we don’t have a 51st state…yet…is this something from one of those ‘as seen on TV’ coin collections? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to several eBay listings, they run from $0.99 to $12 or so. Which means actual value is like $0.10. I think this is one of the ‘proof’ copies of what MIGHT be a state quarter, if we made DC a state. From one of those ‘genuine US coin mint’ collectors commercials that come on at 3am. Genuine silver. Really, no shit. We promise. They probably made 55million of them. It IS kinda neat, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
