mishap-coins Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 03/09/2007 12:17 pm I am curious about this sellers Mis-struck Quarters. Seems to me they both have a line in them where it appears an instrument was used to stop the coins clad from sliding off while it was heated to a certain temperature. I know I have put a quarter in a campfire and once it reached a certain temp you could watch as the outside layer slide off before the whole coin melted. Could be legit. Though when you look at all the listings of these Statehood Quarters they have listed it seems they have found a treasure box full of off struck and clipped coins or have an insider. Question is does the inside material of the quarters have a different melting temp than the outside material ? http://cgi.ebay.com/1-Outstanding-M...er_W0QQitemZ 230101173130QQcategoryZ524QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item230101173130 http://cgi.ebay.com/1-Miss-Struck-S...er_W0QQitemZ 230101165148QQcategoryZ524QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item230101165148 Report this Post to the Staff

tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 03/09/2007 12:48 pm This is what I can tell you. Composition: 91.66 copper at a melting point of 1981 degrees 8.33% nickel at a melting point of 2646 degrees. What I don't know is if these would "slide" off without having the coin show more damage per say. You would think there would be run marks or drips for lack of a better description. I'd be curious as to the exact weight though. I think for this to slide like this something would have been lost in the overall compostion. Just my thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff
