Take any 1964, or earlier coin, made with silver, and they will not attract to a magnet. If they do, they are a cheap counterfeit. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The materials used to make our coinage will not attract to a magnet. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not hardly. The one, and only test, you have yet to perform on this coin is placing it on a scale. Silver quarters will weight 6.25 grams, non-silver, or clad coins, will weigh 5.67 grams. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For the same reason counterfeit Morgans, 32S Washingtons, 09S VDB Lincolns, would be placed into circulation. So someone who doesn&#039;t know anything about coins finds it, and thinks they&#039;ve hit the motherload.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, what I stated just above, is the reason this is not the real deal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We all eagerly await the results from the TPG. In the mean time; however, could you just weigh it and see what the weight is. That would clear everything up, and may save you over $100 in costs to submit this coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh and BTW, did the person you spoke to at PCGS tell you that you not only pay shipping to PCGS but also for PCGS to ship the coin back to you, plus insuring the coin?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
