<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Deadite, post: 457561, member: 16187&quot;]Hi all, found this forum via google.&nbsp; gotta love google.&nbsp; And since I&#039;m posting from work, no weight or picture data is available. </p><p>Anyhoo, I was fumbling around with quarters in my pocket and as I was dropping them into my spare change bucket, one of the quarters gave a very odd, dull &quot;plink&quot; noise.&nbsp; It even has an odd ringing noise when I drop the quarters on carpet tiles here at work. </p><p>Upon closer inspection of this &quot;1964 d&quot; quarter, I find there&#039;s no copper in the rim edge. There also seems to be a slight &quot;bulge&quot; in the edge...the metal is a little thicker than a standard quarter. </p><p>I compared it to a 1997 quarter and everything about the lettering, the trim and even the eagle seems a bit &quot;fatter&quot; in this &#039;64 quarter. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The noise was what bothered me the most.&nbsp; It sounds like an metal plug from a circuit box or maybe a spoon in a stack of spoons. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Do I just have a silver quarter from the era and there&#039;s nothing to worry about?&nbsp; Or did I somehow get a bogus coin?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only thing leading me to believe that it&#039;s just the era of the coin is a surpisingly sharp &quot;D&quot; on the back for the Denver mint (I assume), but the &#039;97 quarter has the &quot;D&quot; on the front.... hmmm... </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hopefully you can help. </p><p>thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
