What are you looking at on it?

 

that a error / rare coin i can tell by the color very rare coin

 

OP if your referring to the T in Trust there appears to be a die chip there-a very small piece that broke from the die. It is an error but a very minor one that occurs with monotonous regularity on coins. Keep hunting and good luck.

 

I would love to see a properly lighted and totally clear image of this coin The color of this coin also has me interested but I have seen normal copper-nickel clad coins look this color when the lighting in a room is not the best for images.

 

And the answer is.... none of the above.

 

I have to agree.a better photo is needed. Color??is odd and how many grams it is is needed also .

 

This is the best I can do with the camera I have..are there any specific settings to use when photographing coins?

 

I am wondering if the photo yellow by lighting or is the coin yellowish? If you would take a white tissue rub the coin very lightly post what color is on the tissue if you would.

 

it look dirty

 

Black or dark gray???

Maybe someone poured some dish detergent over it to loosen some dirt? You'll can get all kinds of weird colors doing that.

 

What does the edge look like. Can you see distinct separations of color or perhaps some copper color.

I'm trying to figure out if the coin was struck on a silver planchet. Don't jump for joy as there are plated examples.

Anyway, I'm still wondering if the coin is more grayish or whitish. I can only see the color in the images as towards yellow. Don't try to clean it or use any soap on it. That could destroy some of the value of the coin if it is strong on the wrong type of planchet for the year.

 

I think it is an old quarter that sat somewhere to long and that is it.

 

It's a really dark gray on the reverse side. Both sides look very bold to me, I'm new to coin collecting so I do apologize for not using the correct coin terminology as I'm still learning...I have not tried to clean it.... The T's in trust look like they have imperfections...I'm going to purchase a scale tomorrow...is there a certain weight that can determine if it's silver or not? Thanks in advance!

 

looks pink to me and maybe owned by a lady , then it may be it's unexplainable .

if you suspect it may be silver look at the edge of it where the reeds are. if you see copper color between the two bright clad layers it is just a normal clad coin. this is really simple . after 1964 our coins are in three layers of metal called clad coins. the outer layers are nickle and a center core of copper. I hope this helps you get started learning.

 

1965 90% 3-5
1965 40% 10-15 known .That is what coin fact had to say when I Google it. So find a new 1 Very very rare

 

How on Earth could a 1965 quarter have been struck on a 40% planchet, when 40% quarters were only minted in 1976? Was there an experiment to mint quarters and dimes in 40%, like the half dollars? I've never heard of it...

 

1965-1970
US was using 40% silver for the Kennedy half dollar. Their is a very low population of dimes thru quarters graded
Struck on wrong planchet .
Due all the silver coins pulled out of circulation there was a coin shortages .
That how 40% silver accidentally got struck on wrong planchets
