Exactly what Oldhoopster said. It is a clad planchet which could not have been made before 1965, it doesn't matter at all if it is a little...
All of the quarters you pictured are normal clad, you can see the copper core in all of them. There is no way any of them were once a 1941...
Is your 1970 in that stack of 12 in the photo where you are showing the edges? If it is, then it is obviously a clad quarter as all that you...
The whole obverse is covered with scrapes and gouges, the marks on Lincoln's face, and the mint mark are just damage.
Nothing out of the ordinary that I can see, will wait for better pictures.
Sorry to say it is all damage. The coin has been "spooned" or tapped around the rim flattening it.
I don't know about the moonwalk, but the 1 took a hit from something damaging it.
Welcome to the forum. You are looking at a little under $10 for all of them.
Yep, whatever hit the obverse had a sharp edge while the reverse was against a flat edge, that's all.
The quarter has been in an acidic environment. The acid reacts more with the copper core than with the outer copper nickel layers.
Excellent information johnmilton. Didn't study of coins recovered from the SS Republic result in a few additional varieties attributed to the...
This coin appears to be a counterfeit 1861 O. Nothing looks right about it at all to me.
That is absolutely what has happened, the weight proves it. 9 pages and no one has been convinced that it is even remotely possible that it could...
Half of the reverse design has been ground away, that is the evidence. What more do you want, a signed confession from the person who did it?...
You really need to learn about the minting process, then you would understand that there is no way yours could be a mint error. I guess until you...
Not even close to the same thing. The face of the die is turned square and flat on a lather before the design is impressed on it. The lathe...
With the reeded edge all the way around, it had to have been bent after it was struck. I agree with the fire idea.
Really simple first step, as Paddyman said, check to see if it is clad or silver.
My apologies, I did some googling and there is at least one known copper plated experimental cent.
There is still no such thing as a copper plated steel experimental cent. Yours is a little heavy but no big deal.
