[QUOTE="longnine009, post: 1495294, member: 1886"]You need to weigh the coins. If they are the correct diameter and thickness they won't weigh to specs if struck in lead. The photos look to me like coins that were over dipped. The black on the Morgan is a sign of a dipping chemical that wasn't properly rinsed. Maybe someone along the way just assumed they were lead because that's what it looked like to them ay the time. Doesn't it seem odd that someone would strike repros of a 1949 quarter? What's so special about that? You need to weigh them. If they're struck and lead *maybe * you have something. If they are the correct weight they may be washed out coins from over dipping.[/QUOTE]
