<p>[QUOTE="Jared Anderson, post: 4411352, member: 112119"]I checked a list of all foreign coins minted in the U.S. The one that caught my interest was a 1943 25 cents-tukken. The composition is debatable as I researched the coin further. The records from the list I read claimed the 25 cent-tukken was struck on a planchet of 87.5% nickel and 12.5% copper. The coin weighed 4.5 grams. Thats the only possible foreign planchet theory for my 4.4 gram quarter. Will attempt to upload pictures now. I only have my phone at the moment. I've ordered a microscope with usb connection that should be here in a few days. By the way. There are black looking pits but not like you would see in toning and Washingtons face looks like his bottom jaw is gone. I have familiarized myself with amateur grading over the past five years and whats odd to me is the fine detail of the feathers on reverse and hair on the front. Diameter is correct reeding is also correct. Give me a few minutes for the pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
