1981 P WQ struck on Dominican Republic 25C planchette

I'm looking for information on the 1981 P WQ that was struck on the Dominican Republic 25C planchette.

Weight?
Identifiable Markings?
Value?

I believe I have one and have only found limited information one Heritage Auctions.

If anyone knows something, please, help me out. If I obtain any confirming facts, I'll post some pics!

Thanks much.

First time I ever heard of a US 25c on a DR..

What makes you you think you have one?

Interesting.. Probably one of a kind -
I want to share this webpage -

If I can see some pics, I may be able to post some confirming facts.

What is the weight of your coin? What is the diameter? Is it made from a clad planchet or solid composition? Is it a strong or weak strike? Does it have a plain edge or reeded?



The US mint made coins for the Dominican Republic through 1980. The 25 Centavo is listed as using a 75%Cu/25%Ni planchet. I believe that the planchet may NOT be clad, (the US quarter is a clad planchet) but I can't confirm. Diameter = 24.3mm and the Weight =6.25 gms.

 

Photos of both sides are needed,
as well as weight, in either grams
or grains.

We should be able to identify it with
that info.

 

planch·et
ˈplan(t)SHət/
noun
noun: planchet; plural noun: planchets

1. a plain metal disk from which a coin is made.

 

That is correct it is not clad, it is a solid alloy. And at that weight about 10% thicker and so should have a very sharp strike.

 

So all the OP needs to do is get an accurate weight and post a good pic of the both sides and the rim. That should be enough to provide a good recommendation.

 

Grains of what...salt, sand, ??? Just kidding, don't respond.

 

All of that info can be found online with a bit of digging, we need pictures and specifications to confirm what you have or don't have.


Thanks,
Jacob
