Pocket change has broth this beauty to me. A 1965 Washington Quarter struck on wrong stock. Does anyone know if this could be a foreign coin stock?

Could it be a split or cracked planchet? What say you @paddyman98 ? ~ Chris

 

I don't know. That's a new term to me. What would cause that, and is there any value in it? I'm trying to get some ideas as to the coins worth grading!

 

looks like it has been acid treated . Acid will dissolve copper

 

As stated. A chemical Erroded some of the copper around the edge. Hence the lower weight.

 

Concentrate on learning, first, and value, last. You've got a long way to go, grasshopper! ~ Chris

 

Not an error and not on the wrong stock, as you call it. It's damaged, probably by acid.

 

Chemical attacked

 

I believe Chris was right the first time. Its a split planchet. Characteristics are as shown. Also, the surface will appear grainy.

 

Send it in.

 

Here's a definition to anyone interested. Thank you all for the help and input.

 

That's not a split planchet. Notice in the definition the words "clam shell". That should be your first clue. This is a split planchet and fortunately I have both halves.


Notice that after the split the obverse is on one side and the reverse is on the other. A clam shell would mean both sides are attached somewhere along the rim. Your quarter is damaged and I'm guessing acid.

 

Okay.... Fine! Lol... thank you..

 

Any thoughts on this one?

I don’t see it listed on Wexler. So I don’t think you have a doubled die coin. http://doubleddie.com/980499.html
Always best to start a new thread for a different coin so more members will see it.

100% not a split planchet, wrong stock, or a thin planchet error.

I agree it is chemical and corrosive damaged that affected the weight.
