[QUOTE="Numiser, post: 7343640, member: 97960"]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.
