<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 361202, member: 66"]Midwest Guy, first thing to do is to get an accurate weight on the coin. On of the most common ways to get a "silver" quarter other than plating is a quarter struck on a planchet for a five cent piece. The slightly smaller size of the planchet can result in a coin such as what you are describing. One other feature that you did not mention is the edge. On a quarter struck on a nickel planchet the reeding will normally not be struck up well because of the smaller diameter of the nickel planchet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
