<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2859868, member: 66&quot;]Probably struck on rolled thin stock but not struck on dime stock thickness.&nbsp; A quarter struck on dime stock would weigh about 4.16 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>And not when we say struck on dime stock that does NOT mean struck on a dime planchet.&nbsp; It means struck on a quarter sized planchet cut from strip rolled to the thickness used for dimes.&nbsp; The area of a quarter planchet is 1.83 times that of a dime, so a dime stock quarter would weigh 1.83 times that of a dime or 2.27 grams * 1.83 = 4.16 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hommer has a good point about the five cent piece planchet.&nbsp; The diameter would also be slightly smaller than a regular quarter and most likely part of the inscriptions would be off the planchet in some areas. (Never mind this part, the pictures show that it is not on a five cent piece planchet.&nbsp; Back to rolled thin.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
