[QUOTE="Skip1257, post: 6358964, member: 118238"]Hi Everyone, I have a 1997 Washington quarter I received in change a number of years ago and I am just getting around to looking at it now. What drew my attention to it was the sound it makes when mixing with other coins or when it is dropped on a counter for example. It sounds almost hollow or "silverish" and definitely feels lighter then a normal quarter. I compared it to a different 1997 quarter and it seems shinier and it is also thinner. I did weigh it and it weighs 5.2 grams where the regular quarter weighed 5.6 grams. The pictures I posted are front, rear, and side by side with the regular 1997 quarter. Has anyone seen one of these before or have any ideas what might be going on with it? I guess I could be called a Covid 19 collector since I really just started collecting during this pandemic and don't know much. LOL Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Skip[/QUOTE]
