I got four quarters from the change machine at a car wash a few days ago. One of the quarters felt heavy and was stuck to another with the same year and state. When I pulled them apart a small piece of metal fell to the ground. I could not find the small piece. They are both 2007 D Washington State Quarters, one silver and one gold. Now I did read on error-ref.com, that the U.S. Mint conducted metallurgical tests as part of its development for the Sacagawea dollar. But most of those were from Philadelphia around 1999-2000 and weighed 5.8 grams. Mine has a D mint mark and weighs 8.541 grams that's almost the same as the 1/4 oz Gold Eagle! I also noticed that the 2007 Washington State gold coin might have multiple errors. The reverse has a ton of stuff going on at 6-7 o'clock and other parts. If it's a gold planchet with too much mass, maybe it got squeezed inside the collar which caused some kind of brockage action? On the reverse the words "THE EVERGREEN STATE" look doubled and may have been caught up in the brockage action. Looks like feeder or vampire marks on George's neck. Should I have it graded and slabbed? If so what company? Or should I sell it? All the YouTube videos say it's worth about $500-$750 USD. I do like the fish jumping out of the water, I guess it's a leaping gold fish now. .
Plated. Novelty item. I don't think there were any Quarter sized gold planchets near the minting machines in 2007.
OK enough is enough! The coin is gold because I heated it up in my cast iron skillet. The rest is Photo manipulation and a BS story. I posted this around 00:16 UTC, so that made it April 1st where time starts on our planet. Unless, I parked my time machine in the wrong spot again. .
I think @paddyman98 new something was up and let me slide on the lame brockage action and doubled "EVERGREEN" part. Thanks for playing all.
Too bad you didn't wait a little longer to say it was an April fools day post. Would've like to see some more replies before someone caught on to the joke.
