They don't even come close Toad, that is plain to see as it is.
The point in this case KD is that coin was in mint condition until that happened. And a mint condition coin is what the buyer wanted.
Jewel Luster or Tarn-X.
Appears to me there is.
Yes, would have done the same.
In that condition value would be silver content - between $4 & $5. Making a necklace would be fine ;)
Take that one to the jewelry store too.
I think it's a broad strike but need the weight to know. As to your question, look how wide the rim is. A quarter is only 3mm wider than a nickel.
No need to do that. Just take it a jewelry store and ask them to weigh it for you - to within the closest 1/100 gram, as in x.xx grams and report...

Ask all the questions you want Keith, we actually like answering them ;) There's one more thing we need to know though to answer this question...
There's a bit more to it than that. The '21-S (coin in your link) is known to be weakly struck. The '38-D is not. There's a whole list of these...
What is the weight of the coin ? If it is the same as a quarter then it would be a wrong planchet error. If it is the same as a nickel then it is...
Looks like someone was just playing around trying to drive an old fashioned cut nail through the coin.
Depends on what you are trying to do. If you are trying to remove PVC from the coin to prevent further damage - then yes go ahead and do so....
True, but only a few states were sovereign nations, at one time or another, before becoming states.
Toad - the original statement was - Nobody but you ever said a word about what they were at the exact time they became a state - merely that...
No Toad, Utah did not become a territory in 1848. That's merely when the US acquired title to the land. Either way, you need to read a bit more...
Separate names with a comma.
