<p>[QUOTE="Cheryl Anne Dohn, post: 2510853, member: 81711"]Question... I have a 1967 Washington Quarter... Its substantially thinner than my other 1967 and the look of it (by the color texture and feel) seems to be silver. But it definitely has a core... Its not brown tho... More like a light pink. Definitely lighter than all the quarters ive come into contact with... Its weight was just about 5.8 but the size of it is about 3/4 the width of any other quarter... It also has a much higher pitch "ting" sound than the rest... And on top of that, after extensively magnifying and observing it I can see that it was definetly struck on top of another coin. If I turn it at certain angles with the light i can see a few blurred letters and there's a random faint "P "mint mark it looks like in front of Washington's mouth but its horizontal to his face... It looked pretty beat up at first glance then I started looking closely and after wiping it down with a wet cloth ( not sure if Im supposed to do that but I did... Im new to this and there was like green crap on it lol) well anyway so after i did that was when i noticed the crazy lines and deformed look of it... Anyone ever see something like this? Or should I be figuring out how to go get it graded? Maybe they can tell me what's up with it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
