[QUOTE="paddyman98, post: 2879157, member: 44615"]What makes you think it's on a Nickel Planchet? It looks like a normal circulated Quarter to me. You need to look at the edge. Do you see copper around the edge? Starting in 1965 Quarters were made of a clad composition, with layers of copper-nickel on each side of a layer of pure copper. Nickels don't have a copper core. If your Quarter was struck on a Nickel Planchet it would be smaller in diameter, the same size of a nickel. Weight is another factor also. If it weighs closer to a normal Quarter of 5.67g then it can't be a Nickel Planchet because it would weigh less which would be 5.0g[/QUOTE]
