Good inflation story but.....
MELT value.
The meme is retarded because the coin dates conflate the issue.
The artist should have used 5 OTHER coins, these 5 :
1963 1962 1960 1959 and 1958.
the 1921 confuses the issue.
These 5 coins have the SAME melt value in silver weight and percent : 1963 , 1962 , 1960, 1959 and 1958.
From 1916 to 1964 US Quarters are 6.25 grams total and 90% silver and 10% copper.
