KisNap Valued Member United States 475 Posts	Posted Yesterday 6:19 pm I have an idea of where I think it is based on using Photograde, but I'd like your opinions. Thanks. My birth year +100. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

KisNap Valued Member United States 475 Posts	Posted Yesterday 7:29 pm That's unfortunate. I'll have to see if I have a magnet around. What makers you think it's cast? Report this Post to the Staff
KisNap Valued Member United States 475 Posts	Posted Yesterday 7:41 pm Thank god. I tried it with a magnet and it did not stick. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5870 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:37 pm Its porous surface and strike lacks authenticity compared to other genuine 1882, especially the date. Report this Post to the Staff

KisNap Valued Member United States 475 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:50 pm I tried it with a strong refrigerator magnet. Would that not be enough to tell? I could feel the attraction to the metal on my Yeti, but nothing when I touched it to the coin. Is there another test I can do? Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26813 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:53 pm The reeds look like crossties on a railroad track. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
KisNap Valued Member United States 475 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:20 pm It weight in at .2 oz / 6 grams Report this Post to the Staff
KisNap Valued Member United States 475 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:21 pm This is what I got from Google. Early issues (1838-1853) weigh 6.68 grams (103.125 grains), while later issues (1853-1891) weigh 6.22 grams Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5870 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:01 pm 0.2 oz is under 6 grams, need a better scale that provide weights of 0.00 grams, they are fairly cheap on Amazon. If you can do a ping test using another 90% silver quarter, and compare the one you got. Take it to a LCS and see if they can test it, or have one that you can compare yours to. 1882 Seated Liberty quarter is a few hundreds in FMV for VF grades, so you want to be sure. HondoB makes a good point about the reeds, these look off also. Edited by macmercury Yesterday 11:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
