[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3027360, member: 92083"]Ok. I weighed it. However, I don't know how much this PCGS generation holder weighs if it were an empty nickel slab to figure out what the coin itself weighs. [ATTACH=full]753988[/ATTACH] You will also notice it looks much bigger/wider than a stamped nickel on a nickel slab; it is. Notice this photo I took with a regular, non-error issue nickel on top of it. [ATTACH=full]753987[/ATTACH] Though I can't get a clear shot of it, I can tell you the quarter error is visibly thinner than the regular nickel. I am guessing it is wider/bigger because (a) the die pressure to stamp a quarter is greater than for a nickel and/or (b) because they have different metallic compositions, one metal alloy is softer than the other. This quarter is also neat because part of it has a reeded edge, and part of it does not.[/QUOTE]
