<p>[QUOTE=&quot;strauchfx, post: 1237835, member: 26326&quot;]So today I was unrolling coin to ship out and came across this Quarter. There are no marks on the edge to indicate sanding/grinding, it weighs noticeably lighter than a regular Quarter, and does not sound right when you drop it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It might be hard to see in the pictures, but the finish is also odd, &quot;pebble-finish&quot; or &quot;sand like&quot; is the only way I can describe it. It&#039;s almost like the planchet never made it to the final stage of finishing, it&#039;s a rough/raw metal.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you flip it on it&#039;s side it looks like a sandwich. There are the outer layers (silver part) and the inner layer (copper with the rib things on a normal coin). If I run my fingernail across it, it dips down slightly when crossing the inner layer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me know what you think, I&#039;m not really sure what to do with it yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]132315.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]132316.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]132317.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
