[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2880669, member: 24633"]Quarters are given a reeded edge when they are struck in the coining chamber. This is formed by the retaining collar which is the "third edge" of the coining chamber. The lower weight of your coin may be because someone used a file or some other means to remove the reeds on the edge of the coin. May I suggest that, before you begin searching for errors, you might want to learn how coins are minted. By understanding the minting process, you will eliminate wasting your time on coins such as this that are [B]obviously[/B] post-mint damage. Chris [B][/B][/QUOTE]
