<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bugo, post: 2005137, member: 53226&quot;]1965 quarters (and for a few years after &#039;65) do indeed have a different look to them. When they are in a pile of shiny clad quarters, they can deceive you into thinking they are silver quarters until you take a better look at them.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, it appears that the mint used a different metal alloy for nickels in the &#039;40s than they did in the &#039;70s. Not sure when the changeover took place. I can tell a well circulated &#039;40s nickel from a mile away. They seem to take on a yellowish tinge to them. Every now or then the &#039;64 nickel will trick me into thinking it&#039;s older. So perhaps 64/65 was the year the content changed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
