<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 1554872, member: 4703&quot;]Use a popsicle stick scale to compare the weight to a normal quarter.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Instructions for making one are at <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t37184/#post373124" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t37184/#post373124">http://www.cointalk.com/t37184/#post373124</a>.&nbsp; Just use your quarter and a regular one instead of 1982 cents as described there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a bicentennial quarter with a missing copper-nickel layer on the reverse.&nbsp; It was noticeably thinner than a standard quarter, and a clear strike.&nbsp; If somehow or other a coin were to be stamped on the center layer of pure copper with neither cu-ni layer it would be much, much thinner than yours.&nbsp; My guess is that the weight will turn out to be the same as other quarters and it is just badly tarnished.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
