1965 Quarter 90% Silver Planchet Error Amazing Condition. The Real Deal.

You actually spent the time to go over his math? I saw all the coins on the scale and said there were too many variables to come up with a correct answer.

dude the digital scale is weighing in Ounces by quarter ounce increments. that's a total and complete waste of time, and if you haven't figured that out and posted 20+ pictures over it, it's you trying too hard to convince other of something that isn't true.

it's really not complicated to get a gram scale that weighs to 100ths or even 1000ths, especially for someone that deals in gemstones where ".02g mistakes can cost thousands" as you say, with bad vision, self proclaimed "scales a little off".

your whole "schtick" here doesn't make a lick of sense, and if it don't make sense, it's not legit.

So an "appraisal", here ya go.
I'm not buying any of your story here or your evidence you provided is the reason why.
the coin is worth anywhere for $0.25 if fake to $7000 or more if graded and authenticated as legit. NOBODY is going to take your word on it, so until that happens, it's going to be worth 25 cents tops.

My guess it's worth exactly 25 cents because there's ABSOLUTELY no reason not to spend the $50-$100 to get it authenticated and slabbed if it was legit. Thanks for wasting everybody's time with a "bigfoot story" it was entertaining for a bit. I'm done with this, total waste of time and so was that triple beam and the calculations page pictures.

You want it appraised? Spend the money and get it appraised, and stop running yourself ragged trying to convince people with amateur evidence at best. What's left of your eyesight and time should not be wasted on such endeavors.
simple as that.

That is my lighting and reflection from a wood ceiling or wall, I can take the same picture in a blue room and make it bluetone lighting your seeing light and reflection not copper or you would see it on the other photos the gouge proves it is not copper

 

My opinion is, welcome to CT. Good luck, thanks for posting

 

I give up, only been using balances of all kinds for 60+ years...

 

May I ask what profession you are - or were in?

 

Too much effort on something easy to figure out. I agree with John.

 

OP…. Welcome to CT. I think you would find yourself in a better position if you were to be objective about this. You opened the discussion stating, “this is not polished”…. To an experienced numismatist you have immediately raised red flags because that quarter did not leave the US mint looking like that. Be objective with yourself. Don’t try to sell a group of guys that have lived and breathed numismatics for decades. Do you genuinely believe this is not a plated quarter? If so, that’s fine. Just take the proper course of action to confirm your suspicions. Best of luck to you.

 

GRAM SCALE, NOT OZ. LOL

 

I bet I could make it look like any color of the rainbow. Fact is though, you have an altered coin.

 

What? if it's a "1 gram" scale how could ounces be more accurate, especially since 1g = .035oz. As such, your scale couldn't weigh a .25oz (or whatever) object. Bye the bye, grams are always a much more accurate descriptor of an object. A silver quarter on earth is 6.25g or 0.22046oz. That same quarter on the moon is still 6.25g but only approximately 0.0367 ounces! Just saying.

 

mass vs weight
f=ma
apples falling on your head

 

I'll bet you insist on weighing all bullion at the equator when you're buying, and at the pole when you're selling.

 

What does it weigh on a bathroom scale?

 

Ah, someone else who is familiar with the inverse relationship between gravitational force and the square of the radius between the objects and you can be darn sure that in this case I'm using ounces rather than grams as the measure. Darn, there goes that arbitrage scheme; you just had to tell everyone didn't you!

 

Or like we oft heard in every Stat course I ever took, "Figures don't lie, but liars figure!" Present company excluded, I think.
