It's not silver. You can see where the copper was colored over. You can always weigh it. Silver quarters are 6.25 grams and clad 5.67g.
This is a rare coin and the area around the 17 looks suspicious. It is unlikely to be genuine. NGC doesn't list a mintage, just "rare". With a...
I thought the 55 was lower mintage. It looks nicer in hand and is AU minimum. Had to come from someone's collection. This has not been circulating...
Nice score today. 3 dimes and a penny. 2 silver dimes. The 1955 is in great condition and the 1942 is my 4th CS Merc. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I found the Titanic. I did see 3 (Big) Sandhill cranes up close this AM, and a male roadrunner. [ATTACH]
I can usually tell copper from zinc by sight. But an electronic gram scale is inexpensive. (With at least tenths.) The zinc cents will be shiny...

Oh that's a good one.
I assume this is at or near an all time high. $23,888.30
Yes I absolutely agree that for the condition, it is exceptional. I was just saying not a key date on mintage.
You'll have to weigh it and get it tested for silver. If it was altered, what was it altered from? A 79 CC in VG is over $200. I am leaning fake.
What are you going to do with a box of 2022 zinc atrocities? They are already decomposing and they haven't even been minted yet.
They made billions of those. But on the plus side there's only 1000 threads here claiming the exact same thing. The small date 1982 has a very...
I don't think 19-S is a key date. Maybe semi key. 65 FB
He hasn't paid the fine which is excessive. $1000 a day for over 1700 days. The jail term is also excessive for (contempt of court?). On his end...
I have found a number of knives detecting. I think 5.
It was below freezing the whole time. But it might be the last hunt of the year so I said what the hell. The last signal was a dollar coin....
Yes that's what I got out of it, that the 68 grade sold for a ton more on the exact same coin.
All of the real 1955 DD have a reverse that does not line up by about 6 degrees. All you have to do is flip it over and if the reverse lines up...
The 1922 gets a little grading slack. On the OP I would go F-12. Now of course another coin that looked like that would be VG-08 but all coins...
Separate names with a comma.
