Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 05/05/2008 2:13 pm Well, eel just left and the quarter is definitely silver. The weight is 6.23 grams which makes it correct for a 90% silver quarter. Aside from the fact that this coin is silver, it has INCREDIBLE strike issues. Take a look at the pics below! (The greenish cast is from the lighting and any red you see is because I chose my clothing poorly today and wore red.) It really is an outstanding coin and well worth the wait!

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 05/05/2008 2:21 pm Yes, it's exactly the same diameter and thickness as a regular quarter. Sorry, I should have posted that, but I'm so enamored of the strike issues that I didn't think about that. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 05/05/2008 2:21 pm So what we have here looks like a 1964 quarter over-struck with a 1972 die. The whole debate over "planchets" makes sense now.

SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 05/05/2008 2:32 pm Now the $100K question: How is this possible (1972 strike over what appears to be a 1960 strike) without human intervention. A struck 1960 quarter wouldn't be stuck in the planchet feed ... it would have gone to the collection bin. Now, if someone threw a 1960 quarter in with the planchets awaiting striking in 1972 .... I love a mystery. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/05/2008 2:33 pm Strike issues indeed! Very cool...I take back my natural skepticism. Could you please verify the weight, because here's what I see for... 90% Silver quarter: 6.25 gr. 40% Silver clad quarter: ~5.67 gr. JBuck, good eyes for catching that! If this is '72 overstruck a '64, I would guess the weight is close to 6.25gr? I'm going to wait for an expert opinion here.
