Washington Quarter

I think that if it was a dryer coin, the rims would be more worn. I can't get the photos to pull up very large, but it looks like the metal of the main coin area is way thinner than the rim edges. Its almost like the metal used for the planchet was way too thin. It's be interesting to put a micrometer on it and compare the thickness of the coin and the rims to a regular coin.

I wonder if it's possible to have a type of error where the metal sheet which should be used for dimes is accidently put in with the quarter's manufacturing process and cut into quarter sized planchets. It'd be interesting to see if it is as thin as a dime.

The contact marks could have come from anything...rolling machines, counting machines, etc.

I found the coin in a roll.

 

I've been guessing it's either a dime stock error or a die trial adjustment strike but don't have a lot of confidence in either. I doubt it's post mint damage.

A weight would answer whether or not it's a dime stock error.

 

That Quarter is sick wow

 

Neat looking quarter. Never seen one like that before!
