<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2842141, member: 80121&quot;]As it turns out, the quarter I posted above is actually on dime stock. In 1970 dimes where 25% nickel, that explains the traces of copper. Sometime between then and now the mint dropped the percentage in dimes from 25% to 8.2 %, the Red Book still lists 25% and that&#039;s how I came to the conclusion that maybe I was wrong assuming it was nickel stock (still 25% nickel), well that and about a gazillion results on Google talking about a 1970 D Quarter made from dime stock. Seems the Denver mint blew it and about 100,000 got out to the public. Still a collectable error though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
