    Hi all. I just got this in change from McDonalds. I set it aside for the off coloring. I thought maybe it was toning but now am not so sure. There are heavy striations going NNE/SSW on the obverse throughout both the fields and the devices. I thought perhaps it was an improper alloy then and weighed it. Bingo: 5.73g as opposed to the 5.67g weight of a normal statehood quarter. What is the mint tolerance for weight? Is this something more than simply a toned 25c coin?

    Does anyone know what the acceptable weight variations are?

    I would think 5.73 would be within mint tolerance. Not really seeing anything out of the ordinary with the coin.
