Hi! I just got some coins from an uncle and I would like to know about this particular error. It seems that among these there was a 1960-D Quarter struck on a nickel planchet.What gets me to say its a nickel planchet is that it is deffinately not silver and it is thiker near the date area and also has a reeded edge there while near the LIBERTY area its is thinner and has no reeded edge. It must have expanded when the die struck it. It has a diameter of 7/8 in or 2.3 cm and as of weight I cant really tell because I have no means to weigh it right now. Is this just a common error or is it valuable? If so, what could it be worth? Thanks! http://www.cointalk.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=19662&stc=1&d=1183172201 http://www.cointalk.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=19663&stc=1&d=1183172201
well, first off - Welcome to the forum! As for the quarter... i cant help you. There are alot of folks here who can though! Good luck!
It looks like an authentic quarter struck on a nickel planchet. In uncirculated condition, an example this old would be worth several hundred dollars. Your specimen seems to have quite a bit of wear with a few dings to boot. So maybe $100 - $150?
