<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 2483156, member: 12789"]Actually silver 1965 quarters do in fact exist because the mint was striking 1964 dated quarters into early 1966 to use up the silver they had on hand. 1965 dated coins were not minted until September of 1965 and were minted into 1966 when they finally switched over dates. The silver examples of the 1965 were blanks intended for the 1964 dated coins that got stuck in hoppers etc and came out later with the clad banks and were struck up as 1965 coins. Genuine coins are quite scarce.</p><p><br /></p><p>But as NK notes, the nefarious have been plating clad coins and trying to pass them off as silver so the weight check is necessary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
