2000 health quarter over weight

Hi everyone
Finally got a scale!
Was going through my quarters and found this rough one that is over weight. At 5.10g

Canadian Quarter weight
2000-present 4.40 g
1968–1999 5.05 g
1967–1968 5.83 g
1953–1967 5.83 g

Could it be struck on a 1999 planchet? I don't know canadian coinage but i love that disign!!

 

An overweight health coin - that's a bit of an oxymoron

 

Yes, I’m guessing it’s probably on a 1999 planchet. As far as I know it’s the only one that is over weight. Yet how large is one planchet sheet? There must be a few more out there

 

As I've told you on the other sites, the weight of the millenium quarters is 5.05 grams, NOT 4.4. You need to look at the correct section of your reference material or find the CORRECT reference material .. try Charlton or Haxby. Only the standard circulating CARIBOU quarters are 4.4g. Your coin is normal in everything.

 

They deleted my post on the other site. What a joke. That other site needs a major improvement!
I am going to check my other health quarters and get back to you on the weight. I am sure that it should be 4.4g.

 

This is from Wikipedia.. if they are wrong then someone should tell them.

Well then, you'd better tell them that they are WRONG. wikipedia is about as poor a reference site that there is. ANYONE can write in and give their definition of something. Look it up on google or look at a numismatic reference. You posted the question and I've given you the answer 3 times now .. normal is 5.05 grams.

 

Are you a stalker that goes to different sites and tell people they are wrong?
Well someone should also tell mint .ca as well.

 

I It is funny how you tell me I’m wrong without one piece of evidence.

As I stated now for the 4th time .. this was not a "circulation" quarter. The circulating quarters have a caribou on the reverse, The millennium coins were commemms, essentially, and all the quarters weighed 5.05 grams, just like the 1990 mintage and are 100% nickel. If you use a reference, look in the correct section .. you would not find it in the "circulating" quarters from the Mint store. It was a commemm.

I think that the reason that your post was removed from the other site was because you got snarky, like now. You asked for help and we gave it to you. Here is something for your reading pleasure from the RCM:

Thank you
I appreciate all of your help!
Wether I am right or wrong about something I’m glad we can come to an agreement. With proper information where a person can check the proper information.

As for that other website (coin)(community) is a joke. Every hobby forum format should be exactly like this one. Bouncing through different webpages why? 300kb pics? I was on that site for an hour trying to upload one picture. Than they deleted my post for no reason. Joke!
I love ct!

 

I've never had a problem with the CCF site; easy to navigate once you bookmark the different forums that you will visit. The photo size is a little sparse, though. I'm on there much more than here.

 

Oh I’m still not done yet

Here is a 2006 quarter commeritive like you said. But it’s at 4.43 so is this under weight?

 

Wait I found it on numista

No, the 1999 to the 21st century quarters were "plated" coins marked with p (looks like a mintmark, but it means plated) are all 4.4 g. And they included both caribou and commemm coins. As the cost of plachette/coin alloys increased, mints everywhere started using different alloys and started many series by being plated steel. You have to be careful by reading anything put out by the RCM .. it's more like a high-grade department store that sells thing for 200-500% over face.

 

It’s really interesting how they decided to use the planchet weight at 5.05g just for the commemorative 2000. Makes me think they had left over planchet from the 1999s. Then changed for the caribou.

On another note I went and weighed the other health quarters and they are all around the same weight 5.10g

Yes rcm wants an arm and leg for their coins. It can be difficult collecting here in Canada.

 

They used the 5.05 100% nickel for every unplated quarter from 1990 to2001. From 1968 to 1989 (21 years) they used 5.07 100% nickel planchettes. Once they quit silver in 1967, they used nickel til 2001, then went plated

 

Thank you @Bill in Burl .
I like to learn as much as I can about coins. To have a better understanding.
Apologies,on the stalker comment earlier.
