Message:: [QUOTE="YOX, post: 4289810, member: 111603"]Hello....this is my first day as a member.  Thanks for letting me be a member.I added on to an old thread and it was recommended that I start a new one.So here it is.....I found a 1965 quarter in some change.  I brought my jar of coins to my bank's self-service coin counter.  It accepted all my coins except for this quarter.  I ran it through several times and it kept rejecting it.  I dropped it on the counter and it definitely didn't sound like a regular quarter, so I took it home thinking it might be a rare silver 1965 quarter.  I put it on a scale and it weighed 5.4 grams.  A silver quarter I own (slightly worn) weighed much more... 6.2 grams.  A regular copper nickel quarter weighs 5.5 grams.  I searched the web, but couldn't find anything about a quarter that weighs less than a normal copper/nickel quarter.I brought it to a coin shop and they had a counter-top scanner.  I just researched the type of scanner it was and I believe it is called an XRF analyzer.  The woman put the coin in the scanner and it came back with these exact materials and percentages:52.7% Tin , 43.3% Lead , 1.7% Gallium , 1.1% Platinum , .93% Copper , .25% ZincAny thoughts?  I put the coin in my safe deposit box in case it's worth millions (wishful thinking).Thanks for any insight into this coin.[ATTACH=full]1091964[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1091965[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1091966[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
