Vintage Lucite Coin Cube Paperweight with 1964 Silver Coins

This item is a clear, solid Lucite or acrylic resin paperweight in a cubic form, measuring approximately 2.5 to 3 inches per side. Embedded within the synthetic resin are several United States coins, most notably a 1964 Washington quarter. The 1964 date is significant as it represents the final year the US Mint produced circulating quarters with 90% silver content. The coins are suspended at various angles and depths within the cube, creating a three-dimensional visual effect. In addition to the quarter, other denominations such as a nickel and a penny are visible, implying a full set of 1964 coinage may be enclosed. The acrylic exhibits high clarity and sharp, beveled edges, characteristic of mid-century desk accessories. Regarding condition, the Lucite appears relatively clear, though there are minor surface scratches and fingerprints visible, which is common for this material. The coins themselves appear to be in Uncirculated or Proof-like condition with bright luster, protected from oxidation by the airtight resin seal. Notable is the absence of significant yellowing or 'silvering' (internal delamination), which often plagues older acrylic pieces. These items were popular souvenir and gift items produced during the 1960s and 1970s. The craftsmanship is professional, with the coins perfectly centered and free of air bubbles in the surrounding medium.
