<p>[QUOTE="haydenwhyte, post: 1454387, member: 38399"]I was testing a silver coin with a strong magnet and i went to my change jar to get a quarter to see if they were magnetic at all. This quarter just happened to be the first one i pulled out, and i was surprised when the magnetic was attracted to it so i went to get another quarter. the other quarter was not magnetic at all, so i looked at the coin further. The sides of the quarter are the same as the top not copper like used quarters usually are. I googled how to tell a fake quarter and saw to weigh it. I weighed it on a scale and it read 5.8 grams. I weighed 5 other quarters all different years and they weigh the exact same amount. the i found this site and other threads on counterfeit quarters and decided to make an account and post a thread. In the pictures the suspect quarter is on the right and there are pictures of it attached to the magnet and compared to another quarter of roughly the same age. . Hopefully, you guys can give me some insight onto wether it is real or not and if its not why would someone counterfeit a modern quarter and such a good job to. seems more trouble than its worth. If i have left anything out and remember later i will add it.</p><p>Thanks</p><p>[ATTACH]180547.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]180552.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]180555.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]180560.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]180556.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
