Washington Quarter Possibly Struck On A Dime Stock

It weighs quite less than a quarter planchet. What are your thoughts? Seems like there were some found on the 1970 quarter.

I could be struck on a rolled thin stock. Not necessarily dime stock planchet. It would be a bit lighter.

But hey.. I could be wrong.

Here are 2 examples from my collection at 4.2 and 4.3 grams..

 

Sullivan Numismatics does have a 1974 25C

 

Here is an interesting Coin World article on the subject I want to share with you..

Thank you!

 

Never would have found it. Sounded almost like a Silver Planchet hitting a Clad Quarter Planchet when I was roll hunting. My second one found.

 

If this was a Dime planchet wouldn’t part of the design of the quarter be missing? I think it’s a thin rolled quarter planchet.

 

I totally agree!

 

The dime stock quarters came from planchet strip rolled to dime thickness, then punched the size of quarters.

 

Yeah, we have to remember the difference between "struck on a dime planchet" and "stuck on a planchet punched from dime stock". In the first case, you'd see only part of the design. In the second case, the planchet's diameter would be right, it would just be thinner than it should be.

 

Look at the Coin World article link I shared 3 posts back

 

I missed that so thanks for letting me know. Very interesting.

 

Dime stock is not the same as a dime planchet.
