Here is one of my quarter on nickel planchets. Can you see the difference between yours? Sorry but yours is not one, nor is it on a cent obviously

 

Would someone please explain to me how the copper edge spilled over onto the obverse and reverse. PMD = Paint My Damage.

 

PMD....

 

A cut down quarter. @Profit man, if you are about to open a legitimate coin/pawn shop, then KNOW what you have! I am afraid you aren't ready for this based on your last few posts. And please don't try and pass this stuff off to the unknowing just to make a profit... man.

 

PMD .

 

Fyi, If you do this your business will fold in no time flat as reputation is one of the big keys to success

 

OK, I'll bite. Without seeing the coin this cannot be confirmed:

It looks like the clad layer has been chemically etched (stains & lack of sharpness). However, the copper should have been affected also and it looks smooth and untouched. Since the edge has been removed, it is possible that a file went up the edge - into the clad layer (removing the silver near the edge). If this were done the copper area would show file marks until they were smoothed out. So, only the OP can tell us.

Now, I just looked at the photo again. IMO - finally. The edge was removed and the edge was then "spooned." This pushed the copper up, over, and on to the surface clad layer. I'm 100% sure of this now and I'm sticking to it.

 

Well, I put my hands on my head and felt some movement inside. So, I assumed that my brain was busy.

That's the copper core, it's showing because the coin has been ground down to a smaller diameter

 

Thanks everybody. You guy just don't get it, I'm seeing how good you really are.

 

Wait, so it was a test? Did we pass?

 

Yes you guys never fail.

 

Wow, just wow..... I sure hope this was a test. When I see something like this I totally understand P.T. Barnum.

 

Ok

 

TEST THIS: I don't believe you. You thought you really had an error coin! Better luck next time

 

You betcha! It's ok though, it's "not daddy's" money.

 

Did u find it in circulation

 

No. I bought it as a buffalo nickel for $1

 

looks like a few I've made and passed around.
