[QUOTE="CoinAmateur, post: 1297987, member: 34163"][b]Possible 1966 quarter[/b] I've read the threads, and I do agree that the coin in question should be weighed to see if it's close to either the Silver or Clad weight. With that being said... I believe that when I was younger I actually had a 1965 quarter that was silver. For years I had kept it, and I believe that it's probably somewhere at my parents' house yet. Bothers me that I don't have it now. It was clearly evident that it was not like a clad quarter, and I knew that they had stopped minting silver quarters in 1964, supposedly. I never had it weighed, but like another person mentioned, when dropped on a table it clearly made a sound not like that of a clad quarter. I had an actual silver quarter from prior to 1964, and the two coins sounded identical when dropped on a table.
