1970 D Quarter struck on dime stock?

@paddyman98 Do you mind to give me your thoughts on this? I saw a thread a couple months back that showed an example you have. I don't recall the year or which mint it was from. Can you or anyone else tell me if this was in fact a quarter struck on dime stock? Weighs 4.2 grams.

A dime weighs 2.268 g

 

Im talking about dime stock. Not a dime planchet.

 

even the stock is significantly less then 4 grams, id guess 2.3g for stock

 

a nickel is 5g, and could have been shaved from there....

 

There is a place to search for key words by tapping the magnifying glass on the top right of my screen. Right below where we see our alerts for the forum. If I tap it and punch in "quarter struck on dime stock", theres a thread where @paddyman98 talks about this. And I thought, maybe I had run across this same phenomenon.

 

Are you saying this might possibly be from nickel stock? I have no idea. Don't know what to make of it. Lol.

 

I think his and others I have seen are 70d.
I also think that's exactly what you have.
Where did you find it?

 

looks like there is a lot of them, going for $30-110 on the bay sold listings. cool!

 

Every one on eBay is a 70d 4.2 g

 

Take a photo of it next to a dime and a nickel.
It just looks like a worn quarter.
Recalibrate your scale to 0, and put the nickel and the quarter
on the scale together.

 

I got it about 6 months ago and an old antique store mixed in with some other coins. The flip it was in was labled "mis stamped quarter***$4" I offered him $2 and walked out with it. I put it with my other coins and kind of forgot about it until I read that thread with Paddyman I'm speaking of. I've been meaning to take it out and ask about it on here but kept putting it off. Glad I did though.

 

End stock not up to proper tolerance/thickness?

 

Here ya go. 9.2 grams with the nickel and quarter together.

 

And here's my scale with just the nickel. I'm pretty sure my scales are good.

 

Well the picture shows it is quarter sized.
The weight is another issue. 2 grams missing is a lot. But I suspect it has been altered post mint either by circulation, or machinery and is not an error.

 

I found the example that paddyman showed a while back. This is what I meant by "dime stock".....metal thickness meant for a dime. I really hope Paddyman98 doesn't mind I used his picture.

 

OK I see what you mean.

 

Hi..I am here
I will say big chance that you do have a Quarter struck on Dime Stock.
I acquired another specimen recently. When I get a chance I will touch on your coin and my new one (I'm on a date with my girlfriend)

 

A possible task for ElectronJohn!
