[QUOTE="mikediamond, post: 44227, member: 1859"]Here are a number of questions that need to be addressed: 1. How does the "ring" sound, when you balance it on your finger and tap it with another quarter? 2. Is it attracted to a magnet? 3. Is the reeding normal? 4. Is the diameter normal? 5. Is the strike clear? It's possible that you've got a quarter struck on a foreign planchet. If true, it would be worth several thousand dollars. Its abnormally low weight would make a plating job seem unlikely. It's possible that a dull blanking die or base plate hole could have smeared a layer of copper-nickel clad material onto the edge, obscuring the copper core.
