    Additional two pictures that my friend had. Not sure if that helps. Math is the only proof that was considered unless someone can evaluate the pictures and determine visually.

    A 1964 quarter's weight is 6.25 grams with a TOLERANCE of +/- .194 grams.

    Your quarter is only .05g overweight. It's well within tolerance.

    I agree the weight is not special or a factor in the equation of rarity.

    I appreciate the long winded insanity.
    1964 quarters were minted in 1965 and even into 1966.
    There's no way to tell unless there are specific markers and dies for those later years. The coin on your scale is a common 1964 worth silver melt value.
    Please write another 10,000 words about this $3 coin.
    No idea what a 1966 "proofing" quarter is.

    Was this friend on this site in the past? You are using coin terms in ways that are wrong and mean nothing. There is a lot to learn about the minting process. That should be your next project.

    I have a conspiracy theory about where all my money went.

    Guys,

    Look at the PCGS Proof for this quarter. The weight of 6.3 grams. Please show me any quarter from 1964 that weighs 6.3 grams. It doesn’t exist.

    The quarter supposedly had a orange tint proofing die on the quarter. You have to look up the history of proofing dies. Numismatics experts did not even realize there were proofing dies until the 1990s. There is going to be a 1964/1966 transitional reverse coin. There was not any mint released coin 1964 or before over 6.25 grams. Tolerance level is nonsense. The mint didn’t add more silver to any coin.

    6.3 is well within tolerance. I'm sure they are out there.

    An excess weight of .04 grams is nothing. (6.25 6.29) Well within mint tolerance.
    Appreciate the long troll factor though.

    Spend 10 minutes reviewing credible sites and they all have pre-1965 silver quarters at 6.25. This news article also states this fact. This was the news article that referenced the 1965 transitional coin that was “overweight”.

    Guys,

    The mint had a specific weight for the special strikes and proofs post 1964 to be 6.3 grams. There is not a 1964 quarter that weighs 6.3 grams. That’s how the engraver let you know that this was a 1966 quarter.

    Here is a picture is the 1964 special strike with a weight of 6.3 grams. Research this transitional period. Weights were instrumental in determining cross period coins. You guys need to do some research. Like I said you can find any pre-1965 silver quarter over 6.25 prove it.

    If a random blog post, excuse me, "news article" trumps the United States Code section specifying coin weight tolerances, I guess we're done here.

    Three grains is 0.194397 grams.

    Let me flip the challenge around: can you find a silver quarter that weighs exactly 6.250000 grams?

    AHAHAHA. OK. Fake news began LONG BEFORE 2016.
    The 1970-S quarter minted over a 1941 Canadian quarter does exist.
    Not really getting any points that you think you have made.
    I enjoy being punked as much as the next guy.

    Supposedly this would help. The reverse is transitional eagle but does not have the “D” mint mark. So from Philadelphia. If this doesn’t make sense than I don’t know how to proof from the pie either.

    Same false information you posted under the other user name you had. Same style of ignoring questions and facts.

    OP take a breather man! This is not UTube where if you state nonsense over and over someone will bite your bait and believe it.

    No one is going to Dallas to look for some 1964 dated quarter with a 1966 reverse that weighs 6.3 grams that you lost when you were 10 years old.
