1917/18s quarter

I think you better do better at your research. You for sure know nothing about coins. You tell that to the coin grading companies and they'll laugh at you.

It's none magnetic. Your the first person to mention the marks you're talking about. I didn't see any of that on line anywhere. Can you tell me where you got that info?

 

I said a metal detecting friend gave it to me. Can't you read?

 

I didn't say he got it metal detecting! I don't know where he got it. I didn't ask. All I know is that his parents had a bunch of coins when they passed away and he got them. I don't know if this was one of them.

 

I did dig this no date 1917 last night and hit it with my digger. Not happy about that mark.

 

That's funny! Even other people who have done it their whole lives had made mistakes. And know after a short time of on line scam school you think you're the best. The only sure way to know is by sending it in. Never trust a Facebook troll thumper.

 

Reads like someone who is trying to perfect their counterfeiting skills.

maybe post a few pics of your non fake finds.

 

Who said I knew anything about coins? Once you post on a public forum, the content ceases to be yours, & anyone may post comments. (Btw, you're not much of a rocket surgeon or brain scientist yourself...)

 

Not sure where you're doing your research, but some of the comments like 100% copper, 88.5% silver, 6.30 grams are completely wrong and you would never find this info on a credible sight. NO standing liberty quarter minted for circulation has these properties. You should completely ignore anything from the sites that listed that completely false information

If you want good info about coins, spend $10-15 and buy this book. It will answer all of your questions about standing liberty quarters. It also has weights, dimensions, compositions and pics of other US coins, so it would probably be helpful with identifying the fakes you seem to be finding metal detecting. And as an added bonus, you won't have to deal with rude people on facebook and this forum

Not meaning to be argumentative but didn't the SF Mint open in 1854 and then a second building in 1874?

 

Oops. Your correct. The SF Mint was definately not around in 191. I don't think SF was there either. LOL

 

When you post a coin worthy of respect . . . . . . . .

 

The San Francisco mint survived the earthquate in 1906 and was in operation during the initial years of the Standing Liberty Quarter . . . . . .

 

Correct. I think the other poster intended to imply that the quarter was minted in 191AD.

 

I CAN be dense sometimes . . . .

The coin is fake, the 8/7 isn't right, the date is too fare from the bottom rim and the kicker, on the genuine the top of the 9 is not closed as it is on this coin.

 

All I can say is that it's the same guy holding the "quarter" in the first post as the guy holding the quarter above.

Same fingerprints on the left hand index finger.

Forensic investigators will be pleased with that information.

It's definitely a fake and I didn't consult Facebook.
