The 1973 quarter in question.
Don't tease me now ;) ...what should I be looking for on this 1973 quarter?
Here is an exampl from a half-dollar. BTW, yours is still 40% silver. It ought to be a nice coin.
I understand and see what you mean now. I still think what you are seeing is the inner copper layer which is usually visible around the reeded...
Darn Sugar Puff bear should have known we'd have wanted 1969 coins. :)
