<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fretboard, post: 683680, member: 19765&quot;]Check out where I&#039;m at on this issue.&nbsp; As I looked with different loupes/magnifying glasses it looked more and more like a casted coin rather than a minted coin.&nbsp; I weighed it and the weight its supposed to be is 6.3 grams, it weighs in at only 6.0 grams.&nbsp; I also tried to weigh it in grains and it weighs only 92 grains and the listed amount should be 96.5.&nbsp; (see below)&nbsp; It didn&#039;t stick to a magnet but that don&#039;t mean diddley anymore.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Since it has been a long time since June 6, 09.&nbsp; I could be SOL but I wrote to the seller anyways as you never know.&nbsp; Sometimes sellers on ebay do everything they can and are standup ppl, I will find out more later.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It seems a bit ironic as there was a thread a while back and I was saying then that the only counterfeits are Trade Dollars and Morgans.&nbsp; Livin&#039; and learnin&#039; every day on this forum.&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><font face="Verdana"><font size="3">1875 QUARTER DOLLAR</font></font></b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><b>PCGS Nos: </b>5498, 5576, 85576,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 95576<b></b></font></font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </b></font></font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Mintage:</b></font></font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <b>Circulation strikes: </b>4,292,800</font></font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <b>Proofs: </b>700</font></font></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><b>Designer: </b>Obverse by Thomas&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Sully, modified by Christian Gobrecht and Robert Ball Hughes, executed&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; by James Barton Longacre; Reverse by Christian Gobrecht, modified by&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; James Barton Longacre</font></font></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><b>Diameter: </b>24.3 millimeters</font></font></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><b>Metal Content:</b></font></font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Silver - 90%</font></font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Copper - 10%</font></font></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <p style="text-align: center"><font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><b>Weight: </b>96.5&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; grains (6.3 grams)</font></font></p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <p style="text-align: center"><font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><b>Edge: </b>Reeded</font></font></p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <p style="text-align: center"><font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><b>Mintmark: </b>None (for&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Philadelphia, PA) below the eagle on the reverse</font></font></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
