I found this 1969 quarter buried on a beach along the Bay of Fundy. It has obviously been there for some time. The Atlantic salt water has rotted it from the inside out and it now weighs just 2 grams. Still a very recognizable coin and kind of an interesting way in which it was eroded. But my question is, is it worth anything to a collector?

Personally, I would put it in the oddities category and keep it.

I would keep it as a unique piece to show to friends and collectors.

It might be worth something to a collector. The problem is just finding the right person. I just don't know what value to put on it.
