<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pyrbob, post: 770517, member: 17044&quot;]The $100 sounds low and is probably for a coin missing the clad layer on one side. But I have my doubts about this coin. Missing both clad layers would make the coin underweight and thin. The dies are set to strike a coin leaving a certain gap between them so a normal planchet will receive an acceptable strike without being overstruck which will wear out the dies faster among other problems. I would expect a thinner coin to have a weak strike to it because of this. I don&#039;t see a weak strike on this coin. For that reason I suspect this coin is just plated or toned. As conder said, the weight is the important factor but so far I have my doubts.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also be careful looking at prices on ebay.&nbsp; The above mentioned coin also looks very suspect.&nbsp; In the questions to the buyer someone even asked him about the weight of the coin and he said it weighes the same as a regular quarter.&nbsp; I think another person on ebay just wasted their money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
